    Good idea gone bad

    IDEA 
    Last month I built a program which could be used for lead generation. It would automatically reply to ads posted in the local classifieds where there is a HUGE amount of traffic everyday. I'm soon starting a job at a car dealership and wanted to use that program. So ideally the program would...

    Is Aerial Photography Saturated?

    I called 20 real estate agents around my area pitching them this idea, 3 were interested, 4 weren't, the rest didn't answer. There's definitely a need but it won't be long before it's saturated. There are already real estate agents and photography companies that have their own drones.

    EXECUTION

    VR will probably flop

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Just got back from a meetup with some other tech entrepreneurs where I tried out the Samsung Gear VR (mobile VR from your phone). Even if it were perfected, at the end of the day it's more of a cool little toy than a practical device. If the task requires speed and accuracy, I can't imagine...

    Roadmap student

    INTRO 
    Don't wait till you're "ready", just dive in and start. Take the best idea you can come up with and just do it (try to find something that meets as many of the CENTS principles as you can). Get in the habit of executing. Become a person who does stuff, not a person who just reads and talks...

    Could playing video games actually improve cognitive performance?

    MINDSET 
    Personally, I've come to the conclusion that it's not worth it (for me). - After doing more research I found that there are actually conflicting studies on whether or not there are any real benefits. - Even if there are some cognitive benefits, as others have mentioned, it's true that it does...

    Could playing video games actually improve cognitive performance?

    MINDSET 
    I was referring to how the rate at which a person learns new concepts decreases with age. Also, ability to focus probably increases with age and hides this slowed down learning rate.

    It seems that it's not really a question: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2871325/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4373892/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4675555/ What do you guys think about this?

    Created my first game, huge success overnight

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Congrats on building that. I spent the last 6 months working on a game project which I ultimately abandoned because the game just wasn't fun. What you built looks fun to play. Would you invest countless hours of work for many months building something for a highly competitive business with...

    How do you hit the mental brakes?

    Obsession = Good : High level of focus Being consumed = Bad : Unintentionally compromising other areas of life, unable to compartmentalize

    How do you hit the mental brakes?

    It's about principles, you shouldn't let yourself be completely consumed by anything in life because then you start to lose sight of the bigger picture. For example, the problem I'm trying to solve might not even be worth solving but if I'm so obsessed with figuring it out, I won't see that.

    How do you hit the mental brakes?

    Sometimes I get so lost when working on a problem, I lose track of everything else. This can go on for days and then I start missing workouts, diet falls apart, start sleeping less, etc. I know it comes back to forming a schedule and sticking to it. Has anyone else gone through anything like this?

    IDEA 
    Just built an automatic classified ad responder (only works for one site but it's the biggest one around here). So now in theory I could automate any sort of ad posting or ad replying process. Any ideas what I could do with this? Some thoughts I've had so far - Automatically send a resume to...

    IDEA 
    If I want to talk to someone about air pollution, there are so many ways to do it, why go through the hassle of downloading yet another app?
