There's no way you can escape meeting in person. That's the whole key

I was going thorough many blogs briefly, but I had to stop at your blog and had to read it in detail. It’s a wonderful blog post. Thank you for writing it.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

I really enjoyed your post! Here in Stockholm, my friends and I are planning a TEDx event. And, we faced the same issues too. Lack of face-to-face contact and constant interactions through Skype and emails decreased the morale in our team. A lack of initiative is prevalent amongst the members of our team, and constant reminders had to be made. That’s why, although we are all busy with assignments (as we are all students) and work, we always strive to meet up as often as possible for dinner, and conduct meetings to build the bond between each team member.Interesting post. Thanks for the input.

Interesting story. Concerning demotivation: It sounds you have enough money for a good living and you are not necessarily motivated to increase dramatically your sales.But, unless you are sharing 40K$ per month by 5 of you, for many many years, I guess you are far from being financially independent. Isn’t the possibility to be financially independent in a few years a sufficient goal to get ultra motivated? Being financially independent could mean being in a 5 stars hotel in a cheap country 12 months a year

I had similar experiences with progamming hackathons: one or two weeks, the most productive weeks ever. 4 weeks will prove too much; routine sets in after the second week. I would meet for 2 weeks every 3 months instead.
