This week we have part 2 of our interview with John Saddington that literally sent warning bells blaring through the 8Bit office. We also hear about his new Kickstarter campaign:  Pressgram (an iOS app that allows you to take filtered photos, and publish them to your WordPress blog).

Highlights
  • “Without deadlines you just never know if there’s progress, or to measure momentum.”
  • “Without deadlines you won’t know if you’ve succeeded in doing anything.”
  • “Without personal deadlines you can be slaving away on something and never launch.”
  • “When you have partners you will have more fun, you will make more money, and you will have more margin than without.”
  • “Unless you’re a magical unicorn that can do all things, you’re probably going to be a specialist (a designer, business person, developer). Startups need specialists that are kicking butt at being excellent in particular areas, than a bunch of generalists doing everything mediocre.”
  • “Investors want to invest in people that are at the top of their game.”
  • “You haven’t launched because there’s something in this product that you can overcome without help.”
  • “Finding good people is about experimenting.”
