Paying rent should also be considered a failure. I remember not having to pay rent for the best office space in the absolute center of Stockholm for our startup some 11 years ago. We just printed some shares to the landlord.

Re: "Books and apps" is the new "brick and mortar"

Indeed! I have a strong feeling that the term "Book" will get many different, expanded meanings in the next few years.

Here's another interesting take on this:

The company name is a pain, but luckily it's not very important. Find something decent and unique and move on.

Once you have a product or service that looks sellable, that's what deserves a good name and a campaign.

Fanta is made by the Coca Cola Company, Lexus is made by Toyota - who cares.

Would I want a passionate amateur or a cool professional?

That would depend on the job, right?

This was a clever text. Thanks!

$200 is insane?

Re: What Apple did “wrong” with the iPhone

You can videocall with an iPhone to be honest.
The only app you need is Skype, though you can use it at least.
And yes, the price is insane, that is one of the reasons I did get myself an android instead of iPhone.

Nice post!

Re: The Four Actions Framework

Joel Falck — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 12:11:58 -0000

I'm also reading this book now and I must say it's a good inspiration that also contains many useful tools to put to action in whatever field you're working in. Great!

And the Blue Ocean Strategy is also a good framework to apply to one's projects, but I think that these four questions are the most essential stuff from the strategy and a good place to start.

Matteus, yes good questions. The last one also touches on the subject of the pro vs the amateur.

My pleasure! It´s really neat, actually! Didn´t know you we´re into transhumanism by the way - that´s very Clare W Graves meets Ray Kurzweil to me! :-)

I think this new world has some new dilemmas:
- how to get the experience of the people who've participated in many conversations into play without creating a new sender receiver situation.
- sometimes participation lessens the value for the customer. How do you balance service and participation?

Mitt för snabba läsande gav mig en sjätte punkt: Tänk tvärtom! Är den där kreativa galenheten, att se möjligheter där ingen annan ser.
För min del är det punkt nummer tre jag vänder på. I en större stad skulle jag drunkna. Ut på landsbygden finner jag en plats jag älskar, här flödar mitt möjlighetsmoln.

Yet another blog? Simple steps that take time to master but I totally agree. The first one I think I have mastered but sometimes it is just so easy to use that credit card :(

I am working on the second one http://lavendeldockor.se/

Third, I have all the time in the world :)

Ping me for a lunch next time you are in Malmö.

Re: Different kinds of money

Some good distinctions here! Made me think of one more:

"Whore money" - kinda the opposite of F.U. money. The money that makes people stay at their day-job even though they'd like to do something else.

Cheers! /Niclas

Re: Different kinds of money

Alex Jonsson — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 00:24:16 -0000

Nice list!
My contribution would be the "know money", the kind you need to ante up in order to get on top of things, really get into something specific and grok it fully. Skimming is darn cheap and doesn't require any substantial effort, while really digging is investing. You spend your know money until you picture what the real driving forces behind something really is. Then you earn it right back, by letting others know too!

Prestigious? Perhaps -- yet true? Certainly!
