the goose

Ciarnan Lee sent me over a clip of a presentation by David Hanmeir Hanson. David (or DHH as the cool kids call him) has a wonderful approach to making business online. Revolutionary.

1. Make a cool application
2. Come up with a price for it
3. Profit

Watch live video from HackerTV on Justin.tv

David keeps it real and explains how all you really need is the first million to keep yourself happy. Interestingly – he also professes to just 2 hours of productivity each day. For someone who generates about $450k a month from one of his products alone – that is amazing productivity. It also highlights something of an elephant in the room. Concentrating that hard for 8 hours a day is neigh on impossible. You can do it for a bit – but keeping on track is really difficult. His solution? Don’t try. Focus on results and budget your time. Don’t try to fill 8 hours. Just work for 2 and head home for the rest.
