I've started putting more and more money into lendingclub. The returns have been great and you can scale how much you put in slowly. Would definitely suggest checking it out.

Ping me offline if you have any questions.

Usertesting.com may be a quick way to make $10 per test.

Only in the second year? Why not the first?

The persistence that Suster describes in Tracy is what's most impressive. She simply did not stop. She had a goal in mind and no challenges were going to stop her, she would find a way around them. Love it!

One of the easiest way to figure out if an entrepreneur is going to make it or not is by asking them about their challenges. In my experience people either fall into the category of making excuses about why they haven't overcome their challenges or they tell incredible stories of how they found a clever way to overcome them...note: they themselves don't think its incredible, they just did what was necessary.

"if you authenticate with an account that has appropriate permissions (just like you would in the Google Apps interface)"

Do you mean that each user will have to add this app to their Google account? Mind if I send you an email?

Yes I'm familiar. Do not use their services. They don't know your business, your customers or your market. Most importantly they have no clue about your business model. They will spend a lot of money for you and you'll get minimum value.

I really like the 'you need to' --> 'i specialize in' part. Immediately made me think you know what you're doing..and that I should probably hire you. Great job!
