In the past few days, two more sites have joined my creations.
- TruePriority.com – The team and I are morphing an internal project into it’s own, full fledged, and very limited mini-app. True Priority imports all of your time tracking data – (the initial version will only use Freckle) and with only a few inputs from you, prioritize your projects and tasks automatically, so you can work on projects that actually make money, and not just projects owned by insistent clients. It is the dashboard for the intelligent creative small business. It does all of the revenue and cost projection that you wish you could do with Quickbooks as well.

I recently ate breakfast with a few other local business types (one the head of the best event staffing company in Atlanta) and one of them presented an interesting problem. He told the story of a former staff member who had made what seemed (to him) to be an obvious mistake. He seemed to think that this was caused by an inborn flaw that could never be fixed. The dilemma, should he have gotten rid of the staffer or worked around the staffer? The majority of people agreed with the inborn flaw theory, but that he should just work around the flaw.

Stronico has reached the big time in a way by adding the toll free number of (888) 491-3066 with the help of VoiceNDo.com. So far I’m pretty impressed with the service. VoiceNDo is a bootstrapped startup, just like us, with a great price on a needed service. The administrative and signup process was simple and direct.

Weddings and honeymoons do tend to trump everything else, in a very good way. It’s also been mop-up work on everything else, so there hasn’t been that much to way.

Lately my reading has been about cognitive biases in decision making and I had the thought that most good advice tells you what you already know, just in a form shorn of anchoring effects, survivorship bias, and so on. Sometimes it’s easier to remove the mote in thy neighbor’s eye than the beam in your own. Continue reading “New Business notion – A cognitive bias counselor” »

The internet is filled with hatred of QuickBooks. After doing much of the hating myself I realize now that people do not hate the program because of what the program can’t do; they hate QuickBooks because the program discourages them in small ways at every opportunity. Using QuickBooks is like wading three miles through a swamp to pay your taxes. If you took away half of the options and removed the unwanted spontaneous advertising you would have a nice program.
