    SAAS Product Creation - Successes and Failures

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    So, in a previous life, I ran a SaaS product company that went from $1m in annual revenue to over $11m in about three years. The two lessons I learned: 1) Have a path to profit from day one - you need to understand how much you need to charge and how much it will cost to both service that...

    Should I dumb down my content for people like @vigilante and @imgal?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Try sticking to saying what needs to be said and not a word more. If you're telling a story and it's engaging, then people will forgive a lack of brevity because they are being entertained. If you're using three words instead of one, then... Not so much.

    Hard to Make Decision To Dropout..

    HOT! MINDSET 
    So why would you drop out of school for an aspiration that isn't even partially realized? Having the idea is the easy bit and you're not even there yet. See my point?

    Hard to Make Decision To Dropout..

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Why don't you create your business with sweat equity on the side? What specifically requires money? Do you even know what you want to do right now?

    Hard to Make Decision To Dropout..

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Ok, here's the thing... Stop looking for us to give you a free pass on dropping out. You seem to want someone here to say, "Hey man, it's ok to quit because you don't like it and it's hard. Two years is a long time man, think of all the inroads you could be making in your mission during that...

    Have someone on the forum successfully "escaped" uncle sam ?

    I have a thing about taxes... I figure, if I'm paying a lot, I must be making a lot. Living in Australia, I am in the 1% so I end up paying my fair share of taxes - let's just say it's six figures a year and leave it at that. I could spend time worrying about how much I'm paying in taxes or I...

    When did you realize the system is rigged?

    NOTABLE! 
    @Scot - Slight tangent, but I'm a small person, so it's the little things in life that make me snigger. Every year or so, it brings me inordinate amounts of pleasure to watch the Australian Government bend over and rape the entire pharmaceutical industry. Some drug company says that they will...

    INVESTING 
    We buy precious metals for our son. Gold and Silver predominantly. He's 14 and he finds it interesting, but he prefers Xbox Live Gold at the moment.

    Do I need a Disclaimer?

    In your introduction, just say that... "This is not a guaranteed method of success. This is a framework, which if applied and followed through with, increases your chances of getting to the outcome you're looking for. But like all things in life, your mileage may vary and you can't illustrate...

    Selling my Ecommerce Business

    GOLD! 
    Legitimate question: aren't you concerned about telling a "prospective buyer" the ins and outs of your business operationally without the broker actually knowing if they are a legitimate buyer - ie. they have access to funds? It sounds like a great way to get all the competitive intelligence...

    Hey @Tim Monda - Dan Norris has a startup craft brewery here in Australia called Black Hops. Dan sold his last business WP Curve to GoDaddy in the past twelve months and has written a book on it called "Operation Brewery". It might be worth reading that book for some insights into how they...

    How do you deal with Haters?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Woke up this morning and my wife shows me an email to our Support Desk from some random hater. It was just rubbish and incoherent nonsense. I laughed and deleted it. People like that don't deserve your time.

    Is my association with the term "deserve" holding me back?

    MINDSET 
    I have two things I remind myself of all the time: 1) Everything that happen to me is my fault. I own it. 2) I am owed nothing. I deserve nothing. I have to earn everything that I get. It keeps me focused and away from self-pity.

    How do you deal with disbelievers?

    MINDSET RANT 
    It's all about the feelz. You need to be in touch with the feelz so that you can nurture the kiddies. I started writing something incredibly inappropriate and opted against it, I've earned a cookie. :D
