Can easily become a two day break, which leads to the few days break, which leads to the “why not make it an even week” break, which quickly and nearly effortlessly can become an indefinite hiatus. It’s true of fitness, habits, and yes, business. Photo by Dan4th Nicholas. Previous post: Marketing or procrastinating? On How to...

An interesting lesson from video editing:. That’s right: otherwise identical clips, except for the first half second, and one seemed clearly more professional. Simply because the first thing you noticed wasn’t a noise artifact. (Which, by the way, was only apparent with headphones at full volume. But some viewer...It really drove home ...

Jason Doucette's Business By Bootstraps. Thoughts from the trenches of a self-funded company. Objections become validation (vaccination update). November 21, 2011. Middot; 0 comments. OK, a fun story since I wrote about the need to vaccinate yourself as an entrepreneur. It’s not a complete study, but from one man’s experience, simply knowing that certain events may happen on the path to success is enough to turn them from potentially crippling events to solid goalposts of validation. Oh, and normally I h...

Goes, the number one tactic that I’ve found useful is entrepreneurial vaccinations. This isn’t about health care plans. If you’re serious about building your business, you need to start a regular course of vaccinations…. So how do you know what to prepare for? Are there interviews with leaders in your field.

I managed to put in ten miles on the treadmill this weekend. In a single session, minus the reset time in the middle because the machine doesn’t let you plug in more than an hour at a go. Yes, it’s as exciting as it sounds. Previous post: Pushbutton businesses. Next post: First impressions really set the tone. Enter your email address:. Develo...

This week I met a guy who’d recently been laid off from the tech industry. He was pretty much taking it in stride, enjoying a bit of time off between gigs, basically.

Angela pegged me to a music promotion on Dose.ca. Where you can get 15 tracks from some pretty decent bands for the low low cost of free – not even an email opt-in required. 8211; until we stop it. 8221; mess that went down a few years back. Today, so what’s it going to be like 3, 6, or 18 months from now? Tagged as: digital audio.
