Bootstrap to Quitting Day with Ruben Gamez — How does a former employee bootstrap a profitable startup and quit his job?

Joining me is Ruben Gamez, founder of BidSketch, where website designers can go to create customized, clean proposals in minutes.

A lot of us in the startup space have been following Ruben and his story as he built up his business and grew customers. And we were all celebrating the day that he quit his job. Now that it’s been a little while, I want to find out about that experience.

    Daniel Brusilovsky — One of the biggest pieces of advice that I took away from being an entrepreneur, especially a young one, is to never let people discourage you from your idea, even if they don’t believe in you. If you believe in your idea enough to risk it all, then you’re ready to go for it all.

    Pete Barry — Great ads (and products) start with a great idea. So always think first, and design later. Start with literal, obvious ideas and then say the same thing in different ways. The more ideas you generate, the more likely you’ll come up with a great one; a promise that rings true with the consumer

    Adam Cooke — Don’t overcomplicate your ideas from the start. Keep things simple and don’t try to do everything at once. When your project has some users, you can ask them what else they want and add it then. The most valuable thing you can have is a usable product.
