I’ll read this article later

Obsidian! Love your exciting post. I’m known as the ‘Ideas Man’ (name of my first book too). Ideas and creativity are my areas of expertise. I have two ideas at the mo that I’m looking for a Team to work with on. Even if you don’t like either, maybe I can help you find an idea you adore. Please contact me via my one of my websites www.ShedSimove.com or www.MotivationalSpeaker.biz xxx

This is my first ever comment on Hacker News after reading it for years... Inspiring article. This is one of the tenets I’ve built my ‘career’ on. For me, constantly trying new things is not only a necessity in business, it’s something I can’t live without in life, because it’s so exciting. It’s utterly possible to ‘Fail Upwards’ and you can do what Amazon does, with very little resources too. I bring many ideas to life, a huge proportion of them don’t make tons of money, but that’s mostly not my metric of success. Living a life less ordinary and being creatively fulfilled are some of my primary drivers. I encourage anyone to try more of their ideas - and if you’re interested, my books and speeches cover this area of ‘constant innovation’ too - just Google ‘Shed Simove’. Post over. Cherry popped.

Kevin - what a wonderfully inspiring and HILARIOUS talk. You're fantastic! I create products myself (but with nowhere near your level of technical talent) - you can see some here if you want: http://bit.ly/shedcreations). Loved your delivery, intelligence, wit and raw perseverance. All wonderful. Please connect with me on LinkedIn or Facebook and please also post up an image of your finished phone - it wasn't so clear to see the finished article on your video. "Showbiz: always leave them wanting something more!". Much love, Shed www.ShedSimove.com

Man, this advice may be tough to hear, (especially for someone like myself who currently only owns sellervision.net for the app I've been working on for ten months) but if the 'Godfather Of Startups' PG believes it's vital to have a dot com, then I'd change the name of my app in a heartbeat. Now I'm just waiting for YC to take me on to their Fellowship or main intake so I can have some budget to buy a cracking new name...ha ha!

Cheers Litftup - much appreciated indeed...

Thank you Katelyn...
