For me it's usually rebuilding a solution to a problem that I understand well that I've already solved with a familiar language. Take for example Git. If you understand its internals well enough to build it yourself, then rebuild

Yup, I DCA regularly, but thinking about whether this is a good opportunity to throw extra into an index fund like VTSAX or maybe solid individual stocks. Extra would be coming from an account that I keep cash in for unforeseen opportunitie

The mental frame that I often use to help me be ok with looking (and feeling) stupid is: stupid now, smart later. You can train yourself to invoke it when the feeling comes up, if you didn’t have the chance to preload it before the interact

Tarsnap has been working really well for us, but one huge downside that we've noticed is how slow it is to restore data from say a 1TB archive. Sometimes it takes more than 3 hours to restore a customer's 40MB directory. If we were to have

Hi Guys, This is a question I've been struggling with for a while now. Would you host your company's super important bread and butter code on GitHub instead of your own server? I get a funny feeling every time I think about this mostly beca

I've worked with Carl in the past and I can say with confidence that he's one of the smartest people I've had the pleasure to work with. He's extremely well organized and a quick learner. Just my 2 cents. -Nash

Great advice Jason. Thank you. Drawing energy from people and specially your customers is a much underestimated ingredient for success. After a couple of years of being a machine, you need an oil change and you need to replace the wear and

Video sounds really cool, but our niche doesn't seem to care for it much. It's mostly the high end dealers that like them. Maybe one day when we target them.

A very valid point and it has come up in my head many times, not just in regards to entrepreneurship, but other issues with a similar pattern. Before giving out the advice, I had to ask myself whether things started getting better because o

Thanks! You are 100% correct. I feel the same way. Read my response to inovica for an explanation/excuse. :) This will be updated soon. -Nash

Thanks! Nope, no secrecy. I really don't believe in it for most situations. It's mostly my tendency (weakness) to focus on developing new features than to update the marketing site. I'll be updating this with pricing very soon since I final

The sites that don't have an API, we simply provide an iframe and provide the user the tools to easily cut & paste into the iframe (Worst part in the app). 90% do have APIs though, which we use extensively. Right now, my niche is only d

In the last few months, my focus has been 90% on the software. What I did with the dealership is Im more or less, followed the advice in E-Myth ( http://www.amazon.com/E-Myth-Revisited-Small-Businesses-Abou... ) and created position contrac

It's definitely how most people do things today. The way I did it, like everything else, has its pros and cons. Some of the pros: 1. My buddies in the dealership domain are my customers. They call me up and ask me for a feature directly. Fr

My way of doing it was to actually start a business in the domain. Grasshopper invited me to write a little about my story. I hope you find it somewhat helpful: http://bit.ly/bM4mp4 Let me know if you need help with anything.

As an entrepreneur, I found this to be very motivating. It highlights the essence of why some of us do what we do. They guys at Grasshopper seem to be dedicated to motivate anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit to go for it.
