When you are a one-man startup

Everyone needs a hobby. And some take it more seriously than others. Here's some cliched startup gyaan for someone wanting to take the plunge!
  1. Time is money
  2. Have a time table and follow it, specially if you have a day job
  3. Sharpen your tools
  4. Don't spend time on anything you are not good at, because #1
  5. Automation is the key. if it can be automated, it should be automated
  6. Health comes first
  7. Develop to sell. If it cannot be sold, it should not be built
  8. Have an exit plan and follow it. "I'll shut shop if I cannot get 10 paying customers in 6 months"
  9. You are the average of five people you spend most of your time with
  10. Don't stop having fun!
Cheers!

On working remote

The last company I worked for, did have an office space, but the code was all on Github, infra on AWS, we tracked issues over Asana and more or less each person had at least one project they could call "their own" (I had a bunch of them ;-)). This worked pretty well. And it gave me a feeling that working remote would not be very different from this. So when we started working on our own startup, we started with working from our homes. It looked great at first. I could now spend more time with Mom and could work at leisure. However, it is not as good as it looks like. At times it just feels you are busy without business, that you had been working, yet didn't achieve much. If you are evaluating working from home and are not sure of how to start, or you already do (then please review and add your views in comments) and feel like you were better off in the office, do read on. Remote work is great. But a physical office is better. So if you can, find yourself a co-working s

Run away to some distant place where I could be myself. Some place where I could cry to my heart's content. But I was not one of those who would leave the ground, wounded! I had always been the one who took life head on. So was it the time to lean back and contemplate what actually went wrong? No. That won't be the man, the world knew!
