EO (Entrepreneurs Organization) just released an episode of EOtv featuring tips to survive and thrive in the recession. Fast forward to about the five minute mark to see mine - they involve a Nintendo Wii, Love Sac, Bar, and Ocean View.
Apple recently surpassed an incredible milestone - 500 Million (yes - million) apps have now been downloaded since the launch of the App store July 10, 2008. That’s over 2 MILLION apps per DAY since launch. And there are now 15,000 Apps available. The image above is from Apple.com.
This is starting to look like a crowded market. But, as late comers such as Tweetie and iFart show, it’s not about when you launch, it’s about the quality of the App. We’ve spent the last few months preparing, and we can build literally anything - from a simple, local App to a full fledged game.

My good friend Cameron Herold, former COO of 1800-GOT-JUNK, called me in December, upset. I had called Cameron the day before letting him know I was frustrated with the current economic climate - basically complaining. Cameron was upset that, after agreeing on an action plan together, I had tweet’d three times that morning, the latest being about a bartender for our upcoming holiday party. He told me to write down the top 5 things I had to accomplish that day, and then get out of email and do them.
It sounded too simple to be effective - WRITE DOWN THE TOP 5 THINGS I HAVE TO DO. Surely, in 2009, with technology at my fingertips, there was a better way. A program that could do this for me, comb my email and figure out what is important.
But I decided to give it a try. I wrote my top 5 and got 3 of them done. Cameron insisted I email him my progress, and told me not to worry about not getting them all done. I did it the next day and scored 4. The next day, 3. I did this for two weeks straight, and I honestly have never been more focused and productive in my life.
The Top 5 idea isn’t Cameron’s. It’s an idea from the 1920’s. But he was the one that kicked my ass enough to get me to focus.
Go write your top 5 for tomorrow. Get focused, and be awesome during this recession.
