New Class Rising With Hector Avellaneda

[TweetThis] This is not the easy way. Entrepreneurship is the tougher road, less frequently travelled.  On this episode I bring on a frequent guest of the show, Tim Delaforce, to mastermind about a small win we had last week doing cold-calls for our new SaaS endeavour. Tim and I also give a word of warning about a particular type of coaching program for starting entrepreneurs. I learned a very painful and expensive lesson that cost me a friendship and $5,000 when I had my run with this kind of coaching program as I was first starting out back in 2010 and Tim almost did the same.  Enjoy and Merry Christmas!   Liked this Episode?

[TweetThis] If you think Social Security is going to be there for you when you retire, think again! You still have to pay into it though! Make sense? On this episode we are talking to RJ Renza, an author and concerned school teacher, who says that the biggest financial threat that Millennials and other recent generations are facing is the Social Security debacle.  Every time you earn a paycheck, the government steals money from you to fund it's ponzi scheme, otherwise noted as Social Security. Many of us have no idea how much money being taken from us every time we get paid yet, if you "pay into the system" today there is a very good chance you will not see a penny of this money in your lifetime. RJ Renza explains why in today's discussion.    Liked this Episode? Tell me on twitter @Hector_Avellan with #NCR110

[TweetThis] Idea Extraction calls and Masterminds.. If you're an entrepreneur, can you think of a better way to spend an afternoon?!  And.. That's a wrap!  On this episode of the show Tim and I bring our 3-part Idea Extraction call to a close with some good'ol Masterminding. Today, you'll get to hear Tim and I discuss and really dig deep analyze our subconscious thoughts as we were attempting to perform idea extraction, what went good, what we could have done better and lessons and take-aways that you can talk away with and implement in your own idea extraction calls.    Liked this Episode?

[TweetThis] #Idea Extraction is the only way to create a product, build a business and not risk losing your shirt! We're starting another beautiful week in on the New Class Rising podcast and today we are picking up where we left off last week - Idea Extraction calls. On this episode, you will hear my business partner, Tim D., give his best attempt at doing an idea extraction call on me. I was pretty tough with him during the call, throwing objections and sometimes even being pretty direct about his 'intentions' trying to interview me and find out more about 'my business'. All of this was in an attempt to simulate how someone may react when doing real idea extraction calls with the business owners in the market we are going into.  Enjoy! Liked this Episode?

[Tweet This] Why gamble trying to come up with a solution to a problem you think the market needs. Instead use Idea Extraction!  It's great to be back on the show! On this episode of the show I bring on an old guest of the show to practice an Idea Extraction call. Idea Extraction is a methodology coined by Dane Maxwell at The Foundation, an program for SaaS entrepreneurs, to come up with a business product to create without speculation about what the market might want.  Through this process you eliminate all the risk of starting a business or creating a product you think the market might want, when in fact, they may not need or want it at all.  In this episode you'll get to hear me take Tim through a process that involve asking a series of questions in an attempt to find a Tim's biggest pain, that I can then solve through Software automation.

In this episode we are on the second of a two part discussion with Kevin Brinkley, the developer that I hired and paid $10,000 (none of it my money) to help me build a SaaS (software as a Service) product for my customer.  We go into specifics like, how to know the programmer you are about to hire is legit, to what kind go programming languages should your developer know and why, and we even cover things like, how programmers assess price for your project so that you don;t get scammed when working with someone who wants to charge you $40,000 for a project that can really be done with $15,000.!    Hit Me Up on Twitter: @Hector_Avellan and let me know what you thought of this episode with #NCR106

[TweetThis] Check out today's episode of the #NewClassRisingpodcast to hear Hector interview his SaaS developer and find out how to find your own!   Creating a SaaS (Software as a Service) product does;t have to be hard if you follow the right process, and you know what that process is if you've listened to previous episode of my show where I have discussed it.  However, if you are not a developer, finding the right programmer to build your product is one of the key things you have to focus on if you want to have a successful product at the end of the day. You can have the best solution to someone's problem, but if your programmer is crap or cannot deliver of you, not only will you have sunk time and money into a product that may not be what your client cannot use, you will have damaged the relationship and trust that your client may have had for you. It's not easy to recover after something like that. Don't make that mistake and listen to this episode to learn how to find a rockstar developer and what to loo

[Tweet This] Want to know why 'Profits' are not as SCARY as socialists like to think? Check out today's episode of the #NewClassRisingPodcast Nothing scares the bejeezus out of the Socialist Left more than the idea that someone can actually make a 'Profit' by providing a product or a service to someone who desires it.  Unlike some in society who get in their car and drive to their favorite eating establishment for the night when they are hungry and get to chose from the plethora of options available to them through PROFIT seeking entrepreneurs in the Capitalistic free-market system, Socialists, who've also built their own houses and shelters, in their naked bodies, run out to the local forest to hunt for food for the day, collect their own drinking water and gather firewood for burning to cook their meals in the open air. Ah Yes! The sweet philosophy of profitless Socialism!  Wait. Wait. Socialists don't really do any of that stuff, right? Absolutely not, and today, int he spirit of Halloween, we are teaching

Student Loan Debt should be among the highest areas of concern, not just for government, but for the people that are actually leaving college with the debt because they are graduating into an economy that is producing the jobs or wages that justify those levels of debt. America's Millennials are being signed up for endured servitude, often with very little usable skills in workforce.  Today on the show we are talking to Zachary Slayback (co-founder) about Praxis and why his company is the perfect alternative for those who don't fit the mold of 4-6 years of college and tens of thousands of dollars of debt with very few usable real skills, and who instead prefer to learn how to build businesses and learn from those who have already done.    You can find today's show notes at http://NewClassRising.com/102 Hit Me Up on Twitter: @Hector_Avellan

If you want to beocme a SaaS entrepreneur, you have to be intentional about it! [TweetThis] This episode is probably the longest I have ever done int he history of this show, but I guarantee you that it is with good reason.  In episode 093 of the podcast I took you through a step-by-step process of how I was able to get development started in my very first SaaS project and how I was able to get my customer to pay for the Development cost of $10,000.

Would You Opt-Out of Social Security Today, If Given The Chance, knowing you would get nothing in old age? #NewClassRisingPodcast [TweetThis] This is the question that I presented to my friends on Facebook last week  - would you be willing to opt-out of social security today, if given the chance, knowing that you would get nothing in old age? I received sixteen responses to my question and surprisingly enough the consensus was a resounding - Yes! Absolutely! It's clear to me that people, especially millennial’s (Gen-Y) and Generation X'ers are, by in large, in agreement that they do not want to be taxed for social security. They want the government out of their finances and they want to have the ability to plan for their own financial future. Why then is it that there is so much apathy amongst the media and elites around this topic? Why are they okay with taxing the young to pay for the needs of the elderly, when it is clear Social Security is going bankrupt and will be Bankrupt in the next decade?   You

@Hector_Avellan just shared 6 steps that took him from no SaaS business idea to Development in just 4 months! [TweetThis] I have a secret! Over the last 4, almost 5, months I have been working to build a SaaS Web Application. The journey has been full of trials and lessons learned and today, as this show releases, we are starting Development!  Don't get me wrong, I'm not making the mistake George W. Bush made! We are a ways away from actually being able to break out the "Mission Accomplished" banners and celebrating our victory, but this was a HUGE milestone, not only for me as an entrepreneur, but as a member of the Rising Class! This one is for you and although this episode went way longer than I wanted, it will be well worth your time!    You can find today's show notes at http://NewClassRising.com/093     Hit Me Up on Twitter: @Hector_Avellan
