I believe you are referring to http://saasy.com/ It is a bundled payment gateway+merchant. You don't have to get PCI compliant and you don't need a merchant account (no min transaction volumes, fight chargebacks for you etc). The down sid

Hi ahoyhere, Thanks for the advice. I'll digest your comments and see what bits I can tweak. Hopefully, the end result is I get to ship soon! BTW, freckle is a nice app. It helps to have have legendary Thomas Fuchs et all on your team. Love

Hi ahoyhere, Thanks for the great feedback - and great blog entries. I see where you're coming from especially if the guilt makes you avoid working on your startup. For me, it's not so much as guilt. It's more about a question of focus. How

Agreed to a certain extent. Yes, blindly increasing the pain will limit your possibilities, but appropriate application of it is a good move. If you're in the planning phase or design phase, you don't want to needlessly time box it and/or p

Hi ahoyhere, Thanks for the comment and excellent advice. I like what you said and where you're headed and would love to hear from you or anyone out there on what they are doing to motivate themselves to finish their product/service and get

Hi DannoHung, Thanks for the great comment and I agree with your point. In fact, I experienced the same myself. There have been weeks where I didn't want to look at the code and subsequently nothing got done. There are other times though I

Hi there, Thanks for commenting and you make an excellent point. In fact I wrote a little piece awhile ago about how one can overcome distractions and in it I describe there are essentially two motivating factors: one is pleasure and the ot

Thanks for the follow up. I'll stress again, I'm not implying there are any hard/fast rules as you can see from the comments I've made here. If I have set the wrong impression, my apologies. We all know here that being an entrepreneur is mo

Good point. I'd like to add though that while there are merits to launching early and often, you only get one shot at delivering the right first impression. This is especially true if you've lined up the "press" to talk about your app, only

Hi koraybalci - thanks for commenting! I agree with you totally and echo your sentiments. There is no one absolute right way. There is a bunch of relative right ways - some more appropriate than others. Given enough vigor, perseverance, swe

Hi tom_rath - Thanks for the advice. This is bang on target for me as I've been a real "tightwad" lately. Instead of focusing on the outcomes, I've been counting the pennies. It's tough when you're leaking your own money and that's before y
