Getting first 1-10 paying clients is really tough. And with the $12k-$120k/year range, it might have been really tough. Would you be able to share how did you get those first few paid clients? Thanks.

hooda | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Any good book on companies/individuals failure stories?

No response to this post can mean many things: 1. Everyone else (just like me) is also drinking from the survival bias success stories firehose. 2. There might not be many authentic referral-worthy failure stories books (there might be individual stories, though) 3. This piece just fell through the HN cracks:)

Can't hurt me was so masochistic that after 50% of the book I started thinking why is he doing "that much". It's a good book no doubt. It makes you feel that limits are just in mind. But I've to give it a break after hearing (audible) 66% and will return to it later :)

Eric might think that college is worth it but the guys who are running those colleges (Deans) think otherwise.

Problems with college is not only HIGH college tuition fees but also number of years wasted in the institution. If you are 'self motivated learner' then you can learn on web. This is especially true for software courses. Other courses like electrical and mechanical engineering might -still- need college education as colleges have requisite infrastructure for those fields.

Howsoever superman you are, you are powerless in front of your wife.. :) I would say that these things are unfortunate and can happen to any startup. Being a founder, you need to take action asap before things starts to go beyond control. Even if some investigation is done into this matter, I don't think anyone will be found guilty as it's a general behavioral/attitude problem and it won't go in matter of days. Let's stop this discrimination (howsoever minor) against women; we need to stand up and speak openly about this. And it's all the more important when a company is getting formed as culture of the company is defined in that stage.
