Hiring Helpers for HireAHelper.com
April 30, 2007Should we? If i go through the process Joel talks about we definitely can’t afford it. Since I’m a couple years older than most of my friends I have a few “offers”. The problem is if they weren’t my friends I would never hire them (so I’m not going to now either).
I think for now I’m going to wait. Pull the all nighters and do it all myself. I don’t want to take on a $10/hr employee now and be stuck with them. I would rather wait until I can afford a quality $20 employee (and I already have a few in mind).
If you happen to be a $20+/hr employee. And you feel like HireAHelper is a good idea… drop me a line.

Getting Venture Capital
April 30, 2007So I started about 6 months ago looking into venture capital. There were a couple reasons for it…but the primary reason was I knew HireAHelper would need more time and money than I have. I’ve been torn on what to do about it for a while…
Seth says:
A lot of organizations decide to skip the rice and beans and studio apartment step. They decide to “go big or stay home.” More often than not, they end up going home.
That’s a bit scary. It’s not that I base everything I do on what Godin says, however I do try to run everything through a Godin filter. What would Godin do? (WWGD?). I’m in a predicament if I keep going on this company part time, while trying to balance a new wife, do 40 hours programming and project managing at LewisTech (my current job)…and then spend what I have left on HireAHelper. I have a feeling that if this keeps going, it will be another year before I finally launch.
So my thoughts and conclusions are this: While I may be skipping the “Rice and Beans” Godin refers too, I can’t afford to keep letting competitors with inferior products pollute the market before I even get mine out.
Sorry Seth. On this one I’m going to have to go with Kiyosaki’s advice. I’m taking the money and going live.

iPhone? i(don’t)Care.
April 30, 2007It’s great to make predictions about things… but it seems everyone and their mom is talking about the iPhone. I’m sure it will be a great product, but is it even worth spending the time to analyze and critique?
But since everyone else (Seth, Zaid, Russell, Naveed, Mike, Michael, and Randy) is jumping on the band wagon. I’ll venture a guess… well actually a prediction….
Apple will sell a lot more than one iPhone. But a lot less than 22,345,223,900.
I’m sure of it.

An interesting conversation….
April 28, 2007I was talking to Jim and he posted our conversation on his blog.
Thought you might find it interesting as well….
It’s a great world where we live in… I can easily find someone in a situation similar to mine and as a result we can exchange valuable tips and hints!
It’s like a circle. An endless help circle.
I think we might have finally created the perpetual machine.
