It can work, it just takes longer and is harder to maintain the momentum when you are only working on it in small chunks. If you could drop to part time work to cover the expenses then that might be a more viable approach but unless your st

Quantum entanglement, zero point energy, just to name a few things. While I agree these technologies might not be viable for a while, saying we are never going to leave the solar system is fairly short sighted. We always find a way :)

Interestingly I have found that the apps I build for myself then decide this would be great for others, lets build it for everyone to use, have been the most successful of my apps.

It`s an old traffic method but it does work. Not that I do it anymore. But back in the day I did make some interesting connections with it, getting to know people and their blogs. I prefer to be the content creator and focus more on deliver

Wow, they only just figured out that managers don't need to have a greater technical skill than those they are managing? I thought that was management 101? Managing and engineering are 2 different skills. While managers benefit from technic

I went to the page and was confused. I may not be as chat savvy as some but I didn't know what I was meant to enter in that box on the front page. Then I assume we are chatting based on Twitter hashtags? I know it seems trivial but stating

3 Things 1. I asked why is it revolutionary? 2. It needs pictures. 3. More emotional copy. How does it solve the person's problem (which is obviously finding that person a partner) but are you targeting a specific niche within that niche? S

I agree with other commenters. The investor didn't give you the money to invest in, they gave it to you to invest in your business. In Australia we have easy access to high interest savings accounts that can be attached to a regular savings
