I don't sell the tasks we perform( meal prep ,bathing, errands and so on). I promote our motivation to serve, our heart and genuineness. My Christian belief must show through in my business. I can’t be a Christian and also have a business. The way I choose to run my business is an extension of my Christianity. It doesn’t mean preaching or advertising that I’m a Christian, hopefully it’s seen and experienced by existing & potential customers by who I employ and my running of the company. So – back to #6. Sell who you are, honest, thorough, competent, fair and so on. In the end, your promoting Christ. Lesson #6: Don’t sell the product

And impressive numbers - I particularly like (and use) #4. It's a different mindset I find from traditional offline marketing that many don't understand. Great list.

Because we tend to work at a breakneck development speed, I typically lobby our management for a "breather" period every so often. We work on optimizing the code and the database end of things. You make a great point though, if this never happens, you end up with a monster months later. Great question Kevin.

I especially think that #2 is one often overlooked and probably one of the most important aspects to this post simply because of that. While I agree that not ALWAYS insisting that the code is 100% standards compliant or feature complete - what practices does your team implement to ensure that you actually get back to getting it there? I've seen many projects where when that happens, oftentimes you move on to the next project and never get back to finishing up what you've already released. Hey Justin, excellent post.
