    Build your app without dying

    MARKETPLACE 
    Thanks for the feedback. I agree that only a very basic app using web-based tech can be done for the low end. Also I didn't mean to imply that any arbitrarily complex app could be built for $100k.

    Build your app without dying

    MARKETPLACE 
    Do you have a business model that depends on an app, but you lack software development experience? That's dangerous territory! Your risk of project failure is surprisingly high if you don't know how to hire designers and devs, adapt your vision to the realities of software development, and how...

    Launchpeer

    EXECUTION 
    I would think the "Startup success representation..." language was added by the legal folks to reduce liability.

    Launchpeer

    EXECUTION 
    I just followed a link on an Instagram ad and found out about Launchpeer. Looks like a pretty solid option to boot up a tech business while lowering risk. Click on the Getting Started button and watch the 10 min video. https://launchpeer.com/

    MINDSET 
    General spiritual wisdom has it that purpose is ultimately found it some sort of meaningful service or contribution to something outside one's self. Granted it is difficult or impossible for most of us to do this if we are wallowing in the lower portion of Maslow's hierarchy, but MJ's video is...

    A fundamental question for any entrepreneur: What do I want from my business?

    NOTABLE! 
    I knew I had just listened/read about CENTS (again), but I had a damn hard time re-locating the core text in the Rat Race book. I even had a book mark on #44! Calling it "The Fastlane Strategy" in the TOC was the issue, since it didn't refer to CENTS at all.

    Age old debate: Mac VS Microsoft PC

    HOT! CHAT 
    Pining for an M1 MacBook Pro right now. My 2015 15" is finally getting long-in-the-tooth. My long series of Mac laptops have nearly always been the best combination of screen size, battery life, and weight on the market. I recall a few years ago some reviewer saying the a 15" MacBook Pro was the...

    2024/25 State Tax Rankings... Time for You to Move?

    HOT! TAXES | REGS 
    But notice what the CA government is going to do with the extra taxes - single-payer health care. If I have to pay the extra $12k in taxes I will be $5k a year ahead because of not paying health insurance premiums for my family. Sure, not true for everyone, but for me it sounds like a good deal.

    Ha ha Steve. I'm reluctant to share because of lowish barrier to entry and posts I've read on here about biz "stealing".

    Marketing Channels for Local Focus

    MARKETING 
    Thanks Sebastian. My customer won't generally go searching for my product because they probably won't know they need it until exposed to my messaging. I was avoiding search marketing because I thought keyword targeting would be difficult in my case.

    15-year-old Marketing Advice

    I was cleaning out my office closet yesterday and I ran across a big binder with the title "Direct Marketing University". I bought it from Michael Masterson in 2005. Probably wasn't cheap. Trying to get a feeling if the wisdom in there is outdated enough to just drop it in the rubbish, or...
