It's important to remember that it's ok to have an idea and not act on it. You will have way more ideas than you can ever hope to have time for - what's important is that your mind is free to focus on whatever you choose to w

It's certainly an option for an update. I think for the first version I just wanted to get it out there, see if it helped people's writing & work flow.

It would be great to do that as part of the editing stage! So you go to fix your markers and it's already partially researched or a search is 1 click away.

In fiction this method is mostly used to mark places where a more descriptive word is needed. Helps to avoid repetition of vocabulary. Also even with non-fiction most people have their own version of TK and don't realise it. I've

You could offer to sit with him while he works through a similar problem to you, to see where he wastes time, creates work for himself or duplicates tasks. You can then be the voice telling him when to move on. It sounds like he would benef

Your best bet would be to get an existing contributor to post for you, then you ask to get added as the Maker (green M icon) & get permissions to comment. Do you know anyone that likes your app and has posted before?

There's no need to offer a huge explanation straight away. Just say 'oh I'm looking for $X' and smile. Most of the time people don't push it further. If they ask for more info, just repeat & say 'well I&#x2

Would you consider a 1:1 UK based service? Mainly to investigate your options & find the right kind of jobs that are not via a recruiter. Or are you more after a list you can check daily?

You could center the presentation around the phrase Métro, boulot, dodo. Tell them their job isn't meant to be a daily grind. Offer a new version of the phrase, that includes fun, creativity, personality, reward (both payment & job

A few things spring to mind 1) You are comparing yourself to the highlights reel of many others. 2) You can't run a race whilst looking over your shoulder Try to change your mindset when hearing of others successes. Instead of thinking

I worked as a recruiter for a number of years and never saw an offer retracted because someone tried to negotiate. They will either say no, sorry or they may ask you why. It's harder to have a good reason when just starting out. You ca

If it were me I would rather be bootstrapped but take a little longer to get there. To me there's no point in swapping a boss for an investor. I see you mentioned that you already have videos & training materials for users. I would

Sounds like they have refunded 100% of what they got of your pledge. The rest of your money is with Kickstarter & Amazon. I don't think they even had to give you a refund at all for your pledge. In my mind it's akin to asking

I think it's important to project yourself as 'something specific'. What I mean by that is if you attempt to broaden your search and throw everything onto your resume then it will not come across as a focused application. You

I'll certainly do whatever I can to help. Feel free to drop me an e-mail. I think a lot of it depends on your expectations of what a _very good job_ is really. Are you looking to relocate or to work remotely? Is it the increase in sala

I think if you're applying direct to a small startup or company that has a strong culture - they are more likely to want to look at some kind of online profile. It cuts through a lot of the traditional process where everyone describes
