Two or three years ago I saw Josh James present at some networking thing in Salt Lake. I think we walked away with a little book with his startup rules, which I found really interesting.
I recently found the rules online: My Startup Rules
Some of this might be offensive, but considering his success (1.8B sale to Adobe, and I’m guessing he’ll sell his next company for over a billion), you gotta admit, he knows a thing or two about business!

I have been struggling with the ACA, focusing on health insurance, and thinking that it hasn’t made healthcare affordable, or even necessarily accessible, by still too many people.

To really make healthcare affordable, we need to go to the heart of the cost, which is not necessarily health insurance (or access to). Although there are plenty of problems with insurance, such as driving the cost of healthcare up more than 100%, or not being available to people (although, as a private business… should they have to be available to everyone??).
Anyway, why are pills so expensive? Why can’t I do a strep test at home, for less than $5? Why can’t kids have wheelchairs for less than $50, and allow us to make them ourselves?
I love this article… it’s heart-warming. We need to support more stuff like this.
I usually don’t like long lists of things… but as a professional presenter I think this list is superb:
Here’s an interesting article on how to price your stuff:
