    Single Parenthood is for FOOLS!!

    LANDFILL 
    Any chance your kid turned out that way because that's what you expected from him/her? The language you use to describe your child ("The kid") is telling. Maybe your kid served as a reminder of the guy you hated and you took your anger out on the wrong person? You were responsible for raising...

    Graze Mobile App Progress

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    You can use a tool like Balsamiq to draw out the entire user interface. And make sure you provide every single detail about what you want each button to do, and what error messages should display, etc. Never assume the developer knows anything.

    Looking for advice on Marketing my App

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    The app store ads are working great for me. Right now I'm getting conversion rates of about 50%. That is, 1 out of every 2 people that click on the ad, end up downloading it. My tap through rate hovers around 11%.

    Need to Make Decision about MBA

    If it were me, I wouldn't do it. You already have a bachelor's degree. The MBA won't really get you much unless your plan is to stay on the scripted path and keep moving up until you become a VP or something. If what you want is to do your own thing, an MBA is useless. You will learn more by...

    OMFG This Hurt

    RANT 
    I'll summarize what I've been saying with this: "If you knew you could not fail, what would you be doing with your life?" I think if a janitor can honestly answer that he would still be a janitor, then it may make sense to feel happy for that person. But I think most people would be doing...

    OMFG This Hurt

    RANT 
    This really comes down to everyone's top list of values, as covered in Robbins' books. Entrepreneurs have "Freedom" towards the very top of their list. And people have different rules for their values, that determine whether or not they feel they are achieving that thing. For an entrepreneur to...

    OMFG This Hurt

    RANT 
    This is something I've been thinking about lately. If they are truly happy, then yes, who are we to judge, as our values are obviously different than theirs. But then I also wonder whether many people like that just don't realize that they CAN do much better if they were to raise their...

    I'm gonna be a dad.. Did I just lose the Fastlane?

    INTRO 
    It's up to you if you lose it or not. My son is 4. Since he was born I've created 4 software products (that required many months of work), 2 that failed, plus my current project (SaaS & app). When I'm home all my son wants to do is play with me. It's not easy but when you feel you MUST reach...

    Hard to Make Decision To Dropout..

    HOT! MINDSET 
    In my opinion if you're gonna study something at school, study a science. The business stuff you are better off learning on your own by taking action. Science is one of the few things that school is still good for. Unless you really hate engineering, then that's a different story.
