Hi Jeffrey – love the post. Why are big companies missing the point in so many ways. I love simplicity. I love earthy products and earthy people that just do things the way they were meant to be done. Better to sell a great hamburger that a great hamburger and 48 other products that rank average or worse. For a snapshot of what my day is like every day, this is a great article from click Z. Go to click dot com slash showPage.html?page=3628445. Also – could one of your sydney reps email me to talk online colaboration. I would like to hear more about your products and see if there are any that suit medium sized online publishers. Our empire is growing online rather fast. (TShirt – Atlassian with two ss’s – or it that now 3) Cheers Paul

Great advice — Thanks

BTW – I found JIRA invaluable when I started with OATSystems — an 8 person startup in Boston/Hyderabad — we grew to 40+ people prefundraising. JIRA was a life saver when trying to manage all those different projects at the time and the Atlassian support was fantastic.

Sage advise of great common sense not so commonly followed. “If you can’t win folks with the product first, pack it up.” So very true and often overlooked on the quest for riches and fame. I liken it to the band who is an overnight success, their one hit burning like lighter fluid on coals. Once the fluid burns up, there’s nothing left to sustain the flame, no base. It’s the band that slugs it out for years that steadily builds a solid fan base that can withstand the ups and downs of “overnight” success. They had a product (a collection of songs) not just a flashy feature (one catchy song) that people liked and told their friends who told their friends, etc. This type of loyal ground swell is many times the value of the viral flash in the pan.

Thanks for the morning coffee read…
