    Quick question. I have the Trello calendar linked to my Google calendar. When something has a due date it sets it only for an hour on my Google calendar. Is there a way to adjust the time for meetings and such?

    My app company

    It's on the app store now. Still an early version that needs a ton of work, but it has a few thousand downloads. I'm in the process of recruiting 2-3 interns to help with marketing and some business development. My head's an echo chamber and I could use the help. Once that is done I'll be...

    So glad I came across this thread! @Carol Jones I absolutely love the way you treat your customers. I'm watching this thread so I don't miss any posts from you.

    Came across this article on the BBC and thought it was worth sharing. Shows what can happen if you keep going. It took him a year to get the right recipe. The man who created a $2bn ice cream firm in his kitchen

    You’re not selling wholesale?

    NOTABLE! 
    Loving this thread. I'm working on my first wholesale customer as well. I called yesterday and the lady took my message for the person responsible. It's a local restaurant and I thought about walking in, but decided calling to set up a meeting was more respectful. Best part? I was so nervous...

    SOCIAL MEDIA OFF-TOPIC 
    After joining a business group a few months ago I think I've looked through my feed twice. Otherwise I just use it for my business page. Basically I go to Facebook and see if my picture has any notifications. If so I login. If it isn't the business group I log out. If it is I check it out. For...

    How to deal with burn out? Am I just being a b*tch?

    I recently finished Jim Collins's Great By Choice for school and this thread immediately made me think of a concept from it: 20-mile march. Even if you can go further on some days, you hold back to conserve your energy. Instead you consistently move forward each day without having to skip days...

    Why do SO MANY startups fail?

    HOT! 
    That's my thought as well. You can figure out what mistakes you made to avoid making them again, but you may never be sure as to what really killed the business.

    Anyone here who fears flying in planes (due to turbulence)?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    One of my professors told us about a guy he knows that absolutely hates flying. So he learned to fly. It was, I think, a combination of having control plus being much lower because of the type of plane he flies. I've heard it's very different flying low enough that the cabin does not need to be...

    When is the right time to get surgeries? (LASIK, Foregen)

    HEALTH 
    How has it been for you 10 years later? I'm currently 21 and would like to get it as soon as I can. I'm tired of glasses and contacts. At this point it's just a matter of being able to afford it as I meet the other requirements. My optometrist did suggest I wait until I finish school and do less...

    Having used Trello for a little while now I've found myself to be more productive. It's helped me better see everything I need to do for both businesses and figure out how to prioritize them. I'm also getting 2-3 things done each day consistently.

    Repercussions of firing bad customers?

    PEOPLE 
    Reminds me of what Welch did at GE with firing I think the bottom 20% of employees each year. Something along those lines. Anyway, it might work in the beginning if there's a lot of waste, but eventually you're getting rid of good people. Someone's going to be in the bottom. That doesn't...

    Repercussions of firing bad customers?

    PEOPLE 
    My dad is a CPA and equity partner at his firm. They got rid of bad clients over time. They didn't outright fire them. They simply raised the price for those clients. If the clients paid up at least it's more worth it. Otherwise they leave and they are no longer a headache. Outright firing a...

    I've started setting up Trello. Currently have 1 board for my mobile app and will make another one for my ecommerce. From there I'll see if 2 boards works or if I'll just use one. Up until now I've simply used the Notes app and kept more detailed info and plans in Word docs. That system though...

    Marrying a gorilla...?

    This reminded me of the episode in Silicon Valley when Richard once used a Hooli computer for Pied Piper and they could claim ownership. My question is that while the employment contract covers his partner, how can they claim ownership over it when OP is not bound by it? Surely there's a limit.

    Why do SO MANY startups fail?

    HOT! 
    Have you read Zero to One by Peter Thiel? He said the exact same thing. There's no point in trying to figure out what went wrong because there are probably many things that contributed to failure and you can't pick one above all the others.
