Q: How do you Start a Successful Bootstrapped Web App Business?
A: Don't spend 12 hours listening to podcasts.

- sbarre 16y agoAs someone seriously considering giving this a go (our consulting business is about to complete it's first year, we have built up a good war chest in the bank without any investment, and we're planning our web app right now), I would be foolish not to listen to the advice and experience (with a grain of salt) of those who have come before me and succeeded. Anything that helps me avoid mistakes that others have figured out is a good thing. The comment above - while maybe tongue in cheek - is short-sighted to say the least. Thanks for putting these together!
- mkramlich 16y agoI don't think it was short-sighted. I think his point, while partly intended to be funny, of course, was that spending 12 hours to inject a certain amount of information is inefficient if the same substance could have been gleaned much more quickly in the form of concise, curated chunks of text.

- inovica 16y agoUnless you spend a lot of time in the car! :) I listen to 1 hour of audio each day whilst driving. This will be ideal now that I'm about to finish one of the Warren Buffet audio books
