    Is it possible to solve TOO many needs?

    Thanks! Each new feature would in fact tie in with the first ones, so that's not a problem. I guess that just goes back into the whole "business polygamy" thing kinda. :P

    Is it possible to solve TOO many needs?

    Thank you. :) The problem is that I'll probably have to solve a minimum of 2 needs since there's 2 different users interacting, but this helps in my time of stress and uncertainty.

    Is it possible to solve TOO many needs?

    I've heard the phrase "pick one thing and do it in the most excellent way," but I'm not sure if that means being the best in the niche, or pick one need and go all out with that. There are many different equally important things I could improve on, but how do you know where to stop? Won't...

    I met with an investor today. Options?

    PEOPLE 
    Wow, congratulations! That's very interesting that he took something besides equity. I'm no pro but considering he's shown real value and drive so far instead of just wanting money/control, I'd say that's a great start. Don't forget about Googling tips about all things investors! :)

    How to get my first website member?

    :) yes it's quite genius. Unfortunately it's hard to create standalone value for some websites, like the ones mentioned. Guess this is where innovation comes in. ;) It mentions dating websites being hard, but I suppose for example, you could give people the option to take fun and useful...

    Looking for a mentor already in the Fastlane

    HOT! 
    You guys, the problem is clearly: #1 she hasn't read the book=thinks it's a get rich quick scam #2 she's not an insider=doesn't see the action-taking business-advice-giving section I'm glad you just said that MJ because I was going to mention also that you have rules on treating people fairly...

    Considering using www.QuickMVP.com, has anyone else used it?

    Update: Showed my cofounder and he just wants to build the MVP and use Google adwords ourselves. Guess he thinks the idea is validated enough and doesn't care about the potential time waste. That being said, they are still improving quickmvp.com and I still think it would be a GREAT tool for...

    Considering using www.QuickMVP.com, has anyone else used it?

    Tight as in I can spare $100 but not if it's full of bugs and doesn't work well yet. I have been contacting users directly for market research, but it's the buyers that are hard to find. Also, using this would help me with keyword selection. I'll continue to do market research, but I wanted to...

    Considering using www.QuickMVP.com, has anyone else used it?

    I actually have a programmer I'm working with, but the reason I chose quickmvp.com is because it easily integrates Google adwords, collects hard to get emails, and helps you produce quick landing pages. It also has a 30 day free trial before it's I think $30 a month (plus ad money you spend)...

    Considering using www.QuickMVP.com, has anyone else used it?

    Hey guys, I'm really considering using www.quickmvp.com for market research and email collecting. Has anyone recently used it since adwords and their monthly fee were integrated? This seems like a GREAT tool but as you all know, startup money is tight. I'd be willing to spend a few hundred...

    Attracting top talent and retention

    EXECUTION 
    No problem. I think that's just what they call it haha not sure though. I agree, they're only a few years old but I think they're adding more features. I actually think they're paying pretty well considering they're a startup. Also, the $60,000 is just a base.

    Attracting top talent and retention

    EXECUTION 
    Gonna chime in here...I see what you're saying, but people already underpay. People can no longer live off minimum wage and go to college. Minimum wage is barely higher than it was when my mom was my age. We are the next generation of business; no longer can we say "ah let someone else fix...

    This might not help but the app Buffer has a great way of doing things. I believe we are entering a different realm of running a business and treating employees. :) Here's some info...

    Can creativity be learned?

    @Mattie and @MichLap Thanks for the advice! I actually did recently start meditating. It DEFINITELY has helped with being calmer and less scatterbrained even though it's only been a month. I will go expand my skills!
