I took a course on innkeeping through a company in Florida, found through online searches and reviews. Through his class, I learned what to expect as far as occupancy, cost of goods, insurance, taxes, real estate needs, and more. When 9/11 happened, we had finished our most profitable year in 2000.

I wanted to find a way to vastly simplify loyalty programs, eliminating most if not all of the costs and making them much lighter to deploy and manage. Throw in some basic CRM processing and analytics, and merchants can get 90% of what loyalty programs provide, for a fraction of the cost. A new paradigm. Early results are exciting.

I’m a huge fan of William and his writing as you can see from my review of his book Avogadro Corp. There seem to be two schools of thought on how to predict the future of information technology: looking at software or looking at hardware. The same spreadsheet also predicted we’d see a music downloading service in 1999 or 2000.

As a software developer I want things in neat little boxes. But the problem is that marketing isn’t like coding. Coding is a highly constrained environment and, with most problems, a well-known path to success. Marketing Isn’t Coding. Design is a less constrained environment than coding.

I ruffled a few feathers with my recent post The Software Product Myth. The unrest surrounded my statement that making $2500/month from your software product wouldn’t allow you to quit your day job. I’m amazed at how many business costs I pay throughout the course of a year. Costs range from $300-$1000 per year.

I got out of the university in early 2000 and I never went on to a full-time job, so it’s always been an online business for me. The difference here is the entry-level cost to buying web property, not physical property, is much lower than what it is to buy real-world properties. I began placing advertisements on the website.

Don’t wait to fill the void before letting him go (but obviously get all the code / usernames / password). I think quick, do something, then review what I’ve learned.
