What's to loose other than a few hours of work filling out their questionaire about your business?
Besides the RR we also help new users with their weekly meeting by facilitating a good communication.
My new project http://timeblock.com that are funded by that income and that I do not write any code for has generated app. 2000€ in recurring revenue last year although it is not passive yet it is MRR :)
For me personally being 44 I am only able to hit a good flow once or twice a day for 2-3 hours each time.
When I am in flow I am faster and more creative than when I am not, so more hours would not add significantly to my productivity.
It teaches you how to get back up after failure, how to be in the arena, doing the work and not backing down when the critics tries to shame you.
Her research on shame in her earlier books and especially on the subject of "doing the best you can" in this book has helped me a lot.
(I keep on)
Recommendations from friends.
Podcasting guests in the podcast i listen to.
Speakers from conferences who has podcasts
Sometime after the summer vacation I panicked since I realized that I would not be able to reach the 6k MRR goal I had semi publicly stated.
Instead of openly accepting this I started making bad decisions to boost the MRR, this in turn led to some (of the right customers) feeling abandond and therfore they churned.
That made me realize I was fucking up and in the end I agreed to part way with one of the wrong clients and now we are back on (an even better) track with our app and vision for the product.
But damn it was a hard realization and some hard months living the lie.
6 years ago I stopped as partner in an company that had worn me out to the point where I only was able to work a few hours every day.
Now 6 years later I have 3 employees and is building a exciting new startup.
Nothing is impossible, it just takes time and effort.
Call all linked up with on linkedin, show them and convert some to the method, ask for referral, repeat.
The best source for lead has been posting articles and images from when I teach others the method on linkedin, this leads people to my homepage where they sign up with phonenumber - then I call them :)
We started using the method Jan 5'th 2015 and now we have a SaaS app with paying earli bird users and more users of the method not using the app.
Two of the companies using the method (besides us), attribute their growth directly to TimeBlock.
I am using the income to help fund my new project http://timeblock.com a resource/time management and project overview system that is made with a makers schedule in mind!
It can take years of training and searching to let go, the best guide I have found is this book : http://zenhabits.net/lg/
I also ran the Danish OS/2 BBS and since it haf one of the largest collection of OS/2 drivers and OS/2 software I even helped create a redbook with CD's of drivers, all at the age of 25!
I loved the OS and had great fun working with the lavs in the US, the engineers really wanted OS/2 to succeed when management did not.
I told my complete founder story on the rogue podcast recently http://www.roguestartups.com/rs023-perseverance-with-anders-...
I'll add one like this to my software now!
If it's a case of the latter then I would advise to look into adopting a methodology and a systemized way of working before locking yourself into a tool.
In my experience there is a big correlation between using a methodology and having a solid foundation to build a solid business.
This is a well researched fact. The flat structure without a leader normally leads to a official goal of the group (finishing the task) and an unspoken unofficial goal that the unofficial leader is setting by example and retoric.
Everyone needs someone to follow on a team, someone who sets the standard, leads the way and defend the team - even in the most flat structured companies I have encountered this has been true.
If you want a methodology/way to run the team as fair and autonomous as possible, read Daniel Pink's book Drive - it explains what is needed to make people happy in their work.
If you do not want to figure your method out by yourself, steal my method called TimeBlock, it empowers the employees and gives them Purpose, Autonomy and Mastery (ping me if you want one on one help with it)
The method is called TimeBlock and beside teaching users the method after selling it to companies (paid onboarding) I am building an app to support teams better than the paper and pencil version ever can do.
If it is I believe it is ok to do something that do not have a huge potential, because then it is easier to fuck up and fail without it having a great mental cost.
Then you can take all you have learned and use it on a new problem that can be monetized later on.
It resonated with me because I have had a hard time learning to live with being bad while learning new stuff.
If anything in the latest wbw post is true, it is all done to fund saving humanity!
