   I would try to look for multiple mentors with online course experience that just want to help a startup and use the 14k for runway. Try reaching out to founders of similar services who wouldn't be direct competitors but might be intere

   I'm in my 40s and still doing well. If you still have the passion for development and for learning/improving you should be able to keep going. It seems no one is 100% safe from layoffs or companies making bad decisions. I would en

   I would still recommend Rails or Laravel(PHP). Both are similar so choose the one you know/fits you best. nothing to something: Laravel you can go from zero to auth + dashboard in like 5 minutes. There are lots of packages to speed thi

   y, I like PUBG better than Fortnite, a lot of people play both though. PUBG feels more realistic, easier to get immersed in, Fortnite seemed too cartoonish. PUBG is one of the best games I've played, even if it doesn't feel super

   I bought Destiny 2 (PS4) around the same time I got Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PC). I have about an hour on D2 and 300+ hrs on PUBG. PUBG is so entertaining I never even made it back to Destiny. 100 online players in each match, d

    y, take the money and keep your day job. Make sure you have a new contract (or your old one) that allows you to do your own thing on your own time, that being products, a SaaS or consulting. Consulting is hard work generating 6 figures on y

    Plan ahead next year by taking the day off or get approval for coming in late, taking a long lunch or leaving early. I think most polls open early and stay open late for people who have to work that day. I find early has shorter lines and h

    Actually if you spell it out in your contract or master services agreement you can retain rights to the majority of the project for re-use. This is pretty common, most projects are modular and you can save them and future clients cost by re

    no problem, if you're already using PHP for WordPress development I would highly recommend checking out the Laravel framework for app development. Laracasts.com is a great place to get started learning about it.

    There are some examples out there. (see links below) I would recommend only using Wordpress for the public facing website or blog though. Use Rails or Laravel for the actual SaaS application. WP is difficult to work with when you start movi

    Double True, execution and hustle is the key. Don't get caught up in all the entre-porn (Amy Hoy). Learn what you need from books, podcasts and mentors. Then go for it. You'll know you're ready because when you read a book or

    I would like to see MNF go back to an over-the-air network. MNF has a long tradition before moving to ESPN. There are lots of fans who don't have a pay tv package that have been missing out on MNF.

    I would go with Stripe, more fees but also more convenient for you and the client. Or if they want to pay by check require them to pay annually. It's pretty standard in SaaS to give a discount for annual usually 10xMonthly for annual.

    Never under estimate the power of SaaS. You providing the service already up and running, maintaining it, will provide value for people wanting to use it. Some will take the time to install/host their own. But many would be happy to su
