Entrepreneurs
Yes, it is midnight or maybe even 2AM and you just realised you didn't finish your to-do list, you didn't accomplish much or maybe nothing, zero, nada, now what...
It happens to all of us, life is just a huge to-do list and the problem I believe, is that most of us try to accomplish too much, we loose focus.
It is easy to loose focus in today's world, with all those tweets and facebook updates around us, all those blogs we think we need to read, all the email we need to reply to, and all of the things we have...
SimpleProject is a web based project tracking application which I intend to use in my consulting business and in my wife's tax preparation business. If everything goes as expected this is also an application that I will be offering to other solo entrepreneurs and micro and small businesses.
Last night I finally completed the mockup of all the main pages and the navigation, and I am very happy with the results. I want to mention I used balsamiq to create these mockups and I absolutely love this product, it is easy and simple to use and with a little practice...
Creating our applications for our users and not us, this is nothing new and it seems logical right? as a software developer we create applications for our users, to help them resolve some sort of issue or facilitate some manual process, etc. This is what software developers do. And in many cases we just open our SDK of preference and start creating this much needed applications using only our own instincts and preferences.
If it was just this easy, we'll all be making a fortune selling these much needed applications to a lot of businesses out there. The need for software...
A week ago I released a new version of my business website, then I asked for feedback about the overall design of this website using LinkedIn questions. I didn't realize I'll get so many opinions and valuable feedback! It was an eye opening, many people provided very valuable feedback, with details that you usually get only when paying a web designer or design firm.
I have been a member of LinkedIn for some time now; In the past, I've used it to share knowledge and experience by answering web development questions, and to look for business and job opportunities. It...
A few months ago I wrote about Y Combinator, they specialize in funding early stage startups. Their focus is in funding software and web related companies or ideas ;).
In this economy many people have chosen to create their own business, and I don't blame them, many said that recessions are the best time to start a new company, some people also say that most startups are too small to fail, according to Jason Cohen. So, if you are interested in launching your new software/web business you should really take a look at Y Combinator, it seems like a...
For the past 5 months I have been working in creating my own micro ISV Company and at the same time doing work as a consultant to help with the cash flow. During these months, I have been able to get discounts and even free licenses for software development tools from other software vendors that are willing to help out “solo” start-ups like myself.
I want to create a micro ISV and start with a very simple but usable application that will help self-employed people and micro businesses manage their contacts and tasks better. There are many tools out there that...
A few months ago I found this organization's website as I was searching for the keyword startups and angel investors. Y Combinator is an organization that provides seed funding (earliest stage of venture funding) to startups, mainly technology related startups. Y Combinator differs from other venture funding and investment firms and startup incubators by combining the two, sort of. This organization invests small amounts of money on startups, usually not more than $20,000 in return for a small stake in the companies they fund (usually 2-10% according to their website). The main benefit I see that Y Combinator offers to...
