OP, along with people like Tim Ferris claim that publicly announcing your goals will help you achieve them due to the pressure of being known as a failure. At the same time, people like Derek Sivers http://sivers.org/zipit

This seems like a pretty big blunder. Every day I grow more and more paranoid about my personal data including HIPAA.

You've misunderstood me. The part I've found motivating was that these seemingly amazing people are also regular people. I'm also more interested in bootstrapping my business without funding so I was never part of "PG&#x

They certainly have the money and the technical talent. Innovation is hard because you need a certain type of insight and creative perspective, which is very rare.

I'm sure this has been researched intensively by the media giants. A lot of pop music and rehashes of classic movies are a product of this I think.

This is good stuff. Most people know by now that they should "solve business problems" in order to create a decently successful product/service. But most beginning entrepreneurs are struggling to find out exactly what those &

Bit of a stretch, but when I read the title, I thought it was going to be a satire about how the main functions of schools now days seems to be social proof and nothing else (PROOF school!). Pretty much anything you learn in school, you can

How I felt while watching this speech: 1) Motivation to work harder at my job. 2) Relief that people do develop better tastes in people as they age (i.e. generosity over coolness) 3) Hope that the system isn't as rigid as it seems. Tha

I really like this site. It would be perfect if all these items were guarenteed to be sold :p Just because you bought a toilet seat for $20 cheaper on Amazon doesn't mean people will buy them on eBay from some stranger!

Why is everybody saying that this post seems sleazy? Am I the only one that's not seeing it like that? He is only trying to encourage people to attend the BoS conference by telling us about the benefits. How else would you do it?

The concept of curating all the basic knowledge of Rails into 3 hours is interesting, but his sales page does not tell you exactly what he covers. If you are not willing to drop 40 dollars on an unknown product, Michael Hartl's free bo

Wow, now that I see you breaking it down like this, I can start to see how I can find business problems that I can potentially solve. This is making me think why stop at software solutions? Why not just solve business problems in general, b

Wow okay, to be honest with you, I could not answer that question about the taco truck. But I will try to understand businesses more better. Thank you so much for your helpful answers. My head is now filled with a million more questions. D

Thank you, your reply did help. So I guess you've started as a consultant and then moved into creating your own products?

Okay, your accountant example has made it clear that there is really no obvious way of finding business problems by just merely looking from the outside. Now I guess I should figure out how to expose myself to an industry. What is your opin

Okay, so use my programming ability as a tool that solves business problems. But that seems a little too abstract. What are some "business problems" that I could solve with RoR? What are some of the ways I could discover them?
