- MicroConsult“As someone trying to get my self-funded startup going, both time and money are at a premium. I tried a MicroConsult with Bob Walsh because he had an outstanding reputation and I honestly did not have the time to read through hundreds of pages of potential useless or redundant material. Bob’s advice got me on the fast track to meeting my goals. Once I work through the checklist that he and I created, I plan on scheduling another session in order to help me get to the next stage in my startup’s life.” Justin James, founder of RatCatcher — Sometimes you get stuck, lose traction, become unfocused, get lost among all the possible things you could do, you should do, to make your software business successful.

Micro-ISV From Vision to Reality Having been a reporter before getting into programming, I decided since I couldn’t find a book, I’d write one. Micro-ISV: From Vision to Reality is that book, and from the Amazon ratings to the the emails I get, I know I not only scratched my itch, but contributed a valuable resource to the community. Here’s what’s inside Micro-ISV: From Vision to…

Inner Productivity by Chris Edgar
(Weekend Media Review is a new section here at 47Hats. Why Media instead of Books? Because I now find myself – probably like you – “reading” a lot more media than paper books: digital books, audio books, YouTube presentations, podcasts, iTunes U and more.) Every so often I come across a productivity book that stops me cold. This week’s WMR ...Read More →
