“instead of purchasing DJ equipment that you think will make you cool, but will actually collect dust in the back room of your house because you never spend the time to perfect your cross-fade.” SO TRUE. Please kids, don’t buy expensive DJ equipment unless you’re sure it’s what you want to do with your life…

I agree with what you are saying. I ran a company for 10 years which was mostly a service based software and network consulting business which we had “bodies” in clients and were billing hourly. I sold the business in 1999 and have started another business which is trying to be more product focused, in 2006. Two gems I can take with me from the consulting business, it doesn’t scale well for the reasons you mentioned, keeping people busy but not too busy and secondly the business has no tangible assets so it has only goodwill and therefore the sale value is not very high. I think a product business is the way to build real value, an obvious example is 37Signals. Products like blinksale.com also come to mind. I am curious, what forum did you find the guys wanting help with marketing their invoicing product? -Rob
