    Help me develop my product

    You asked for some comments on your product. Here is my take. 1) You are targeting the eco-green crowd here. But based on my understanding of physics the thermal capacity of water (and therefore snow) is very high. Meaning it's going to take a whole load of energy to reduce the snow to...

    EXECUTION 
    @Ubermensch agreed there is a lot of talkers to doers. No question about that. I usually don't waste my time with these types of posts for that reason. But you summoned me and here I am [emoji850]

    I think you miss my point. Not that I'm trying to question the balance of his account. I don't care. Lots of people on this forum can post large bank balances. My point was that if your going to post a picture of cash, for whatever reason, just make it f'ing real not a veneer of 100's over...

    All I'm saying is if your going to post a stack of cash don't fake it. A friend send me a photo of 9K he pulled to go buy a car. Not a few hundreds over smaller bills. If you want to show it off, make it legit. Don't create an illusion. Even this isn't all 100's though Sent from my...

    just curious why only the top few bills are 100's. at least new ones. see the security thread visible on the side for only the top few of the stack. the rest could be ones for all we know. that stack could be created with less than $2000. Just asking if and what the point is of trying to...

    Creating a Notes App

    EXECUTION 
    Congrats on getting the kinks worked out. On your designer, your setting up a test to select bad designers to begin with, and pretty much guaranteeing all your designs will be bad. At $5 your weeding out all the good designers before you start. You won't be sorry though if you hire a great...

    How to take on a big SaaS project when you lack confidence

    MINDSET SAAS / APPS 
    Selling a product inherently "validates" it I suppose. And yeah, I defiantly feel validated after the first sales...I guess what I meant is that I build the product and invest a lot of time and money before I really set out to validate it. I know many people are wanting to validate the product...

    How do I keep my employer from claiming ownership of my business?

    Look at your contract. As far as consulting a lawyer, what ever answer they give you it doesn't necessarily mean that your boss can't/won't came after you...but at the same time I'm guessing it probably won't be worth the hassle - unless your making money from it already. If you can get them...

    How to take on a big SaaS project when you lack confidence

    MINDSET SAAS / APPS 
    Many people are going to scream blasphemy, but I'm going to raise some points that go against the gospel of starting a business. 1) There is no structure that will ensure you success or doom you to failure. One founder wearing all hats. 2 technical co founders. 1 technical 1 marketing. 1+...

    @gabeb1920 You've done your research, you are correct that I am in the medical field. I also see you are from Australia. So I have some questions for you...BTW you may want to PM me instead...because you may not want to talk publicly about some of this. But...a few very pertinent questions...

    How to take on a big SaaS project when you lack confidence

    MINDSET SAAS / APPS 
    Yes they are somewhat difficult to start. Is that a reason not to start? The fact that it's difficult == barrier to entry == $$$ == good. I've built a prior SAAS and am working on my second as we speak. I probably have less technical background than you, all self taught never took a...

    Tesla Model 3: Anyone else getting one?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Totally agree Jason. It's a huge mistake to start using the word asset just because something has value. A car is a liability plain and simple. There's a huge sucking sound coming out of your wallet in interest, insurance, and other expenses. Very few cars appreciate value, many times...

    I'm sure you'll find lots opinions, and I'll share mine with you as well. I should be a reasonable good case study for u because I did almost exactly what you describe. If you want to get the most mileage spend all your time learning JavaScript and also learn how to do anything you want with...

    2016 Fastlane Summit, Official Event Thread

    MEETUPS 
    Got my first sale yesterday for my software. Sold a 1 year contract for $4200. I've had several back and forth emails with them. Apparently they shopped a lot of competitors and thought ours was by far the best. Only one persons opinion but heck, my product finally feels validated. I...

    I'd recommend this book for starters. During/after reading it you should be able to answer these questions. http://tractionbook.com One point they make which I have found true in my own experience is that usually the best methods to get off the ground are pretty non scalable and therefore...

    Example of create value and solving problems leading to profits

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Many of us know what he's selling. And honestly its not specifically the product itself, its very underwelming. But he has found a way to create value through the product that others don't. I haven't looked up this product but I'm guessing there has to be hundreds if not thousands of people...

    Are We In a Relationship?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    You'll never get the girl you want. You have to take the girl you want. Passivity and weakness are not qualities I've ever heard a girl expess as something they desire. What is (nearly) every girls dieing desire? "To be swept off their feet.". Ive never once heard one fantasize about "i...

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    @Vigilante, i'm not commenting on marriage as should or should not. Just making the point that none of us that have gone through divorce really knew what it was all about before. In hind sight it seems judgmental how i wrote that, it wasn't intended that way. My apologies. And your...

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    I wish you good luck with that plan. No fault with irreconcilable differences are not the same as uncontested. I have never known a single person with any substantial assets that went through an uncontested amicable divorce. Not ONE. What your describing is akin to a unicorn. you can...

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    Your absolutely right, no doubt about it. But the point is that many of us don't want this thing you call real commitment. Thats the whole point. We see a lot of undesirable baggage that goes along with this "real" commitment, or at least what you are calling real commitment. You may not...
