Exactly. Sometimes I wonder if there's any good advice at all.
Why do people evangelize every little comment of a billionaire? He's also human, he can tell me what he wants, I'll believe it when I see it.

I had a similar problem. I used Google to sign in on digitalocean, then I changed the main domain in google apps and readded the original domain seperately on Google Apps. But probably because some kind of ID mismatch, I was now unable to sign-in on Digitalocean with the original e-mail address recreated in Google Apps. Password recovery didn't work either, for some reason digitalocean doesn't do password reset for accounts that were created using Google sign-in. I was forced to create a support ticket with digitalocean and wait.

I'm thinking that there is a similar dynamic going on in romantic relationships. There are people who choose a partner for other reasons beyond strict love or money. For example, you might want a partner who is at home and supports you and your work (traditional household model). In order for this relationship to actually support you, like ioseph said, a matching level of emotional investment is important. Otherwise you're too dependent on your partner and that won't work out in your favor. I hope I could clarify my train of thought a little.

Would anyone here consider applying this to their romantic relationship?

How did you convince someone into being a FULL-TIME tech co-founder?

The good leads usually have a lot of responsibilities already. These are people I've worked with before and known for 2+ years. They're not very good friends yet, but at least we've had some business relationship.They're offering things like: - If I drop this, I can start at 40 hrs/ month.. - I can do 1-2 evenings / week for now.. - If you have something specific, I can help you with it... but...

Hi smt88, having lots of time is important. But the good people are usually very busy already. I know some C level guys, who would just leave their job and work with me. But the cool guys are different. Usually the cool guys are already in good positions and wouldn't just run away from current responsibilities.

I have to take certain steps, or just start working part-time with them, not forcing anything, so that one will eventually get rid of his other responsibilities to work with me.

What do you think?

Not sure if anyone will read this wall of text. But if you do, leave a comment.
