Deployed and tested. That should eliminate any unwanted surprises, so feel free to mark all the things you've done!
I'll let you know what we come up with for that one. Thanks for the feedback.
I definitely think there are too many people these days chasing the sexy trends. What they fail to realize is that by the time something is sexy, it's often too late to catch up. Take Groupon and all the clones out there.
Solving a real problem is definitely the way to go. cheers!
This is the right attitude. You can do one millions little things, but one project must be your life's work. Something you commit to.
It was what really helped Airbnb and Etsy make it through the struggles of building a true sustainable marketplace that impacts peoples lives. If not, it's just like another corporate job.

It's not sexy at all but look at how much money there is to be made running a box factory, or containerized shipping.
A friend of mine worked for a company that bought mud from the ocean floor, it cost something like $5000 for a 5 tonnes of it (mostly for the dredge operators), which they would removed the seaweed and other large particles, and package into 50 mL bottles for around $10 wholesale via an MLM cosmetics company. They had an exclusive contract and guaranteed sales. It was pretty much risk free money.
Amazon for activities is such a good analogy. Great going and good luck!
In reality, good for you for realizing that it was a difficult sell in the first place. Innovative and sexy, yes, but I figured you would run into those problems before you mentioned it.
I love outdoor activities and nature getaways, and you were right: their websites are HORRIBLE.
However, creating a really easy way for them to have a website AND book through that website? Money.
