Saas Companies that Anyone Can Start with Rob Walling

[@cilantrodoodles]

Ben Wilson looks like he could have been a character in The Office

[@TheDoubleMvp]

9:39 Ah yes, sounds like the mindset many VC firms have. Following other firms/investors and blindly assuming they’ve done their due diligence, without doing your own due diligence. It’s no wonder Theranos got as much funding as it did - the blind leading the blind.

[@samparr9899]

And no wonder the strategy works.

My First Million isn't that bad of a name. Remember your audience first, not the opinion of your guests, multi-millionaires. 95% of your audience are not millionaires. MFM's an easy acronym. It can also be my first million subscribers, my first million daily listens :P Plus, the ConvertKit story, yeah xD. I'd like to hear the deep why behind the rebranding plan.

[@primalvalor]

I agree. Best practices don’t ALWAYS apply to every situation

[@nawinkhadka7003]

Agree with the name being proper as it is.

[@demonsden]

Honestly I found your Podcast just because of the name. It's a bit of a cheap name, but one that actually touches 99% of folks. Eventhough your quality is higher than the name suggests, it kind of still fits to the channel.

[@brendan2240]

Unreal, what an amazing guest. The hosts are great on this podcast, very engaging.

[@msway836]

One of the Best Real World Guest one can have on the show...

[@walkieTalker]

I love the name, so many people share their stories here of how they made their first million and it encapsulates that so well. Most importantly though, it reflects aspiring viewers aspirations. It gives me inspiration, motivation and ideas on my journey to *my* First Million! I think too many people are looking at it from the wrong angle.

Rob's comment on a customer asking for red lines, etc. and pricing going up 100x is spot on! Also have to be careful to not only have 1 or 2 of those and have their requests (read "demands") start driving the direction of the business.

[@mikesurel5040]

Having been in software almost 30 years agree 100%. Stuff like this is also why some companies are happy staying smaller and not doing the funding and growing. The headaches can be TREMENDOUS. You should get paid well for some of the filthy and unspeakable things some of your customers may want to do to you

Working with a financial expert could truly set you up for life. I'm delighted I was able to contact my coach Karim Elias Karim earlier this year because while others were busy whining about the downturn I was busy cashing out finally making over 370k only for the first quarter of the year.

The airstrip traversing the in between of the residential area could turn bad. Imagine a dude who came there to chill, enjoys 5 beers and the takes off (literally) and flies the plan into a dwelling. After all, they are vacation houses, so people won't be 100% sober as if they went to business trips, rather the opposite. :)

"Rich people who don't get divorced" around time 17:25 - if you meet her in college there's no way to know that she might reach 'max satisfaction' with a certain income then not support 'additional ambition' - striving and setting great financial goals into your 30s. So if you meet in college, it's a risk that you won't discover until the first larger money rolls in that you're not a match. It is probably best - my advice - if you're ambitious, that she had ambitious, striving and financially successful family. I made a ton after we parted company after 15 years and probably would not have been able to, if we had not parted company. It's hard to understand but some people have a low tolerance for 'abundance-seeking.' It was a real shock. EDIT: she and her family were Buddhists. Maybe that played a role in the disdain she exhibited for wealth building, not sure.

[@garypick]

A pilot dating a close friend is also a real estate guy with dozens of homes. He bought property at a similar place in Western Maryland but he hasn't built a house on it yet. I guess, the cost to retain a small rural lot can't be much. I suppose it would cost more annually if he had improvements that were taxed. Gotta have some place to go when the true zombie apocalypse hits.

how is $3,000,000 enough for 10 people unless you are planning to pay 9 of them minimum wage? What's the average tech salary? $75,000/year. So at the minimum $750,000 gone off the top. How much for founder? $250,000. And operating expenses, including employee related costs? There isn't much left of that last $2,000,000. And then growth, investing, marketing.

I think this podcast is one of the absolute best well rounded business podcast. my first million does have a slightly incongruent name, but it also makes sense and keeps me coming back, but when I think of the names, and your faces there is not a connection. Strangely enough your names NEVER stick, even now after 2 months of listening about every other day i do not remember your names. That goves me the impression that ot you brand under your own names, somehow, that YOU guys may STICK.
