It’s Hard

If you don’t have anything nice to say…
I’m pretty sure everyone can finish that sentence. I find it very interesting that people waste so much time and energy bashing the things they do not agree with, instead of focusing on promoting what they do agree with. Especially online.

The idea of “shipping” comes from Seth Godin’s new book Linchpin and it goes like this: “The only purpose of starting is to finish, and while the projects we do are never really finished, they must ship. Shipping means hitting the publish button on your blog, showing a presentation to the sales team, answering the…

Are you Serious????

We were out to lunch after an inspiring night with our mentors and were completely overwhelmed with ideas. If you don’t know, we live a paleo lifestyle, …
