If you're interested in this topic, my piece on practicing how to make money might interest you: http://www.inc.com/magazine/20110301/making-money-small-busi...
On a related note, I'm really enjoying what the Buffer guys are doing. They have a novel idea, but to me following their stories and successes have been fascinating. I keep learning from them. Hope they succeed!
Thanks, that is awesome to hear. If you have any questions I'd love to hear from you. @joelgascoigne or [email protected]
Is anyone else consciously trying to practice those skills that are useful in a startup?
I think it would be sweet if we put together a community of people who are focusing on constantly launching or 'practicing' stuff like this. I know there have always been hackathons and startup weekends, but I'm thinking of something thats continual over the long term. Even if it was just a monthly 'What have you built this month?' post on here, I think it would be awesome to share and motivation to keep building. Maybe HN has already had this, I'm just spitting out ideas.
My practice thus far has been failing and reflecting on it. I've been writing and talking a little bit about it lately: http://blog.maxlynch.com/startup-lessons-learned-part-2
