My life does not need any re evaluation of any sort. I am an entrepreneur as well, and like all other entrepreneurs making money does not drive me, rather the creation of something from nothing is what really motivates me. That being said,

Why am I jealous? I am jealous because I would love to start a company then sell it in two years for 30 million. Very simple.. Never said anything about defining personal success.

Thank god a post like this was brought up. This incident in CT has undoubtedly brought up a national debate about gun control, but I hope to God it sparks a debate about mental illness, the real cause behind all of these mass shootings.

He also lost me at poker. A lot of us entrepreneur types love poker because we just love risk, IMO. To say that you can comfortable make 85k a year playing poker is the most outlandish statement I've ever heard. I also hate how people try

What is the huge value added over traditional radio? That it's not FM? In terms of quality you mean? I thought when it first came out that their big pitch was no ads. But don't get me wrong, I also think satellite radio is better becaus

Think of it like FM radio. It's free for us to listen but we have to sit through advertisements. XM and sirius said hey, let's have people pay to listen, so don't have to make them sit through ads. Basically just a different biz model. T

I totally agree with the "negative people" part. I once gave the groupon elevator pitch to a relative who knows nothing about what's going on in terms of start ups or anything internet. His response was it was the the stupidest idea ever

Basically all us entrepreneurs are the same, we don't become entrepreneurs to make money, we do it because we love to solve problems and create. I believe this program has the potential to solve a huge problem in our society and should be

I couldn't agree more with the notion that entrepreneurship is almost like an illness. When I go to a local "tech meet up" I almost feel as if it's an AA meeting. Everyone has the same problems, everyone has the same story, everyone trying

This makes me think that their "supply side" is fully stocked and that they really just need people to book nights on existing inventory. Kind of seems like they are neglecting the supply side and focusing on the demand right now, by putti

This is one of those start ups when you say, "wow, what took so long" With all of the credit card reward programs out there, it was only a matter of time until this came along. Everyone loves points, but sometimes consumers need to put on

Our service may not be for everyone. If you are not concerned about a reward program, than most likely you would not use it. However, we do our best to connect our members with excellent Realtors in their marketplace, who are extremely kn

I am aware of all of them and do agree that real estate is still very much people-driven, and in my opinion always will be. That being said, the way Realtors market themselves these days is not effective enough, that coupled with just the

More or less your on target, our rev comes from referral fees, which vary, and also monthly subscriptions from local Realtors who would "own" their market, similar to how they can own their market on Zillow or Trulia. Your are 100% correct
