How old are you now?

CRAZY isn't it? :)

It's a slippery slop & it sounds like we're about to be sliding.

Yeah Josh, even though I agree'd with the concept -- I have to agree w/ you because you're a realist.

I was agreeing with the optimistic view -- but that is unfortunately impossible (I think). The human brain is just not capable of FORGETTING completely, right?

And if that's true, then it's nearly impossible not to use history to impact your decisions... it's funny, I've been experiencing this more and more these day...

I guess it has to do with the older you get, the more memory you have, who knows... :)

I think splitting cells into smaller pieces is teaching scientists what the universe is ACTUALLY made of -- If we know that, then we can start controlling atoms more easily -- does that make sense?

Ah, yeah, that would be awesome — Neuroscience is so cool!

I think we already use more than 90% of our brain… but who knows.

Anyway, when is the particle accelerator in Sweeden supposed to collide the two atoms?

I love me some BEEF dinner, but the government already knew that.. BECAUSE THEY SEE MY GROCERY RECEIPTS! hahaha ;)

Love the presentation Greg.. last slide is the best: "Start now, Recessions Rock"

Couldn't agree more.

First off, well done on biting the bullet and starting Blue Sky when you did.. there was no better time, right?

Chris and I were (maybe still are a little bit) just like you with the whole "web shop" thing -- if the check clears.. SURE, we'll build ya a website, or integrate your web forms with your CRM, or man your social media stream.. whatever, money talks! haha

Greg, like you, we don't know anything other than bootstrapping. We actually have a friend who just got his first round of investment -- let me tell you this: before he got investment, he was all types of stressed out trying to get capital THINKING when he gets it, everything will fall in place... guess whaaattt.. Now he's more stressed than ever because his investors are breathing down his neck and not releasing the capital he needs...

GRANTED: some business require capital - would you agree? Specifically, I'm thinking of those who need to make an impact and gain "critical mass" quickly. Maybe they need a sales force, advertising, or servers before they have a chance to monetize... (Startup Baltimore Weekend was fun, you have a good time?)

If I could add one last thing for those thinking about bootstrapping: READ THIS BOOK: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill --- if you read the book AND do the action items he describes, it will definitely give you the motivation and mental toughness needed to get through the hard times.

That book is the definition of the last section of this blog post titled: "Be Relentless: You must BELIEVE:" -- could agree more Greg, good stuff.

Thanks for blogging, more often please :) Cheers, Arsham
