    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    When Pat Flynn developed his Podcast Player, he had identified a need in the market, a way to give people the ability to play their podcasts on a website, without require listeners to use iTunes, Stitcher, etc. He didn't build it, outright, however, he mentioned his idea to a few other people in...

    My Progress

    EXECUTION 
    If anyone's interested in reading my writing, it's available here: http://simpleprogrammer.com/author/robertwhitcomb/ I know writing on someone else's platform is less desirable than writing on your own, but I'm attempting to leverage the existing community. I'll probably start cross posting...

    What's stopping you?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    You have no idea how much this response helped me at the current moment. In the end, I am the only thing stopping myself. I need to get out of my own way.

    To stop being scared...

    EXECUTION 
    Are you gong to die? I doubt it, and if you do, you won't care. (I hope you have a solid will in place to ensure your kids are taken care of.) 25% click rate on an unknown, cold send email? That's impressive. Do you look at SPI? Pat's got this down to a science.

    Can I just mention how awful this job market is?

    NOTABLE! 
    While listening to Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power, I was struck Law 29, See It Through to The End. In a nutshell, it's about defining a goal, developing a strategy, and then sticking with it, being flexible only when necessary. This passage is constantly on my mind: "[T]hose among us who...

    Are consecutive letters too much?

    If people are typing in your address, something is wrong. Seriously, in all your messages and campaigns, you should be giving people hyperlinks to your content and your products. People will bookmark the site. There is a very slim chance they will type it in, and when they do, the browser's...

    My Progress

    EXECUTION 
    Updates to this thread will be few and far between, mainly because I am busy. However, I did have an interview with a company that's 6 minutes from my house. It's not remote, but it is a lot closer than where I currently work. I felt the sting of having to interview however. I have another...

    A Morning Routine.. Best Method Of The Highly Successful

    HOT! 
    Wake up at 4:45 Meditate for 11 minutes Practice a kata 3 times. Shower/coffee. Read/plan. My morning routine has disrupted recently as my wife had a car accident, and I have to drive her to work. She has to get in by 7:00 am, and my oldest daughter has a bus at 7:20, so everyone is up before...

    My Progress

    EXECUTION 
    My last plan didn't work out as I had hoped, but I did learn some things that are helping me with new plan. Most important was patience. So, this is what I am currently working on. Some elements of it are fastlane, some are slowlane, but the goal is put me into a position where I want to be...

    Are you ok with screwing people over?

    MINDSET RANT 
    A group of people once accused Seneca of being a hypocrite because he taught virtue, and yet he was far from virtuous. His response was something akin to, "All the more reason". Do you need to have been a great basketball player in order to be a great coach? Do you need to to be a top notch...

    True, but any marketing expert will tell you that how you say it is just as important as what you have to say.

    Possibly Publishing Self-help on Amazon

    PUBLISHING 
    Well, a little out of my league here, but honestly, my stomach cringed when I read that. This feels a little dishonest by having some opt out of a subscription when a person is buying a book. I'd probably start a time marketing campaign after the purchase of the book where the messages reflect...

    Making money and models, 2017 - 10 step tutorial

    You want to act as the mediator between an aspiring model and a model agency. How do you do this better than the agencies themselves? Edit: Furthermore, the type of content you're looking to produce would be more along the lines of someone who wants to coach people to be models, not someone...

    Does this idea have any market currently?

    IDEA 
    An email list might work. Find a group of adventure sport enthusiasts who are local to you, get them to sign up for an email, and then every weekend, send out an email that has details on the local sport adventure activities. If that flies, you're on to something. This sounds very similar to...
