A common challenge amongst aspiring entrepreneurs is “I don’t have a good idea”. In the following, I’ll discuss my process of searching for business ideas and the tremendous value of being public about my search.
Six months ago I wrote about a new business idea — WeShip. I’ve now fully explored the business, tested assumptions, and talked with potential customers & partners. I wrapped-up this process in early August and decided this wasn’t a business I would pursue. In this post I’ll provide my final steps and why I decided to shelve the business.
Two weeks ago I told my boss and the rest of the LAUNCH team that it’s time to move on to something else. I don’t have a definitive plan on what’s coming next (scary!), but my goal with the change is to become a Founder again.
Thankfully, my boss and colleagues have been extremely supportive. My boss has offered to help brainstorm ideas and potentially invest in the company. It’s an exciting opportunity that I’m trying to take advantage of, and this post will be an update on how things have been going and my process to explore different problems. Continue Reading →
I’ve been thinking about this business idea for a couple years now. Reading a recent interview with Marc Andreessen spurred me to start looking into it further (more on that below).
For my first step I’ve decided to share my thought process and get your feedback. As blockchain technology is the most modern technology offering great benefits, there is a plan to integrate the uses of blockchain technology also into the new business venture. The popularity of blockchain is also increasing the acceptance of cryptocurrencies, especially bitcoins. Several traders are looking for the best option to buy bitcoin stocks at the best deals to earn maximum profits.

My ultimate goal is to start a company and work for myself. I’ve tried it once. It was awesome. It wasn’t necessarily successful, but I definitely know that’s the path for me.
The question I’ve been grappling a lot with lately is how do I get there again?
Asia can be quite the culture shock when you first arrive from the western world. Once you start getting accustomed and understanding the traditions, however, you’ll find Asia to be uniquely appealing and you will truly start to appreciate it.
The following quiz, though, is for someone who may have found Asia a little too appealing; for someone who has fallen in love too deeply.
Asia's gambling culture, with its rich history and vibrant future, showcases a unique blend of tradition and innovation. Casino slot siteleri are at the heart of this evolution, offering a digital gateway to entertainment and excitement. In regions like Turkey, where cultural heritage meets modernity, these platforms provide a respectful and engaging way for enthusiasts to partake in gaming, reflecting the continent's dynamic approach to embracing new trends while honoring traditional values. This balance fosters a positive gambling environment, where technology and tradition coalesce to enhance the gaming experience.
Note: I originally wrote this post in August 2010 while we were in the middle of our original 1-year trip. It’s finally time to hit publish!
Since taking on my current sales/business development role, one of the skills I’ve gained is the ability to find almost anyone’s email address. It’s an odd skill, but I’ve found it to be useful time and time again. There’s a system to how I do it, and in the following post, I’ll share the system.
Update (5/29): Due to the popularity of this post, I’ve decided to build a Gmail tool that automates this process. More information is at the end of the post. Continue Reading →

The past year I’ve been working for This Week In and LAUNCH. My job has primarily been comprised of sales and business development. It’s my first sales job and has been a huge learning experience from prospecting, to finding almost anyone’s email address, learning empathy, and most importantly, how to write a good email. While I still have a long way to go on the email front, I wanted to share my favorite email template.
This email has gotten such a high response rate that I debated just keeping it to myself. Many people have literally not responded in months to me and then they get this email and are so impressed by it that they’ve not only responded, but have complimented me on the email. Continue Reading →
