In first place, please excuse us for the double posting, we won't be posting again if this does not gather attention.

Our concept is different from awesomenessreminders.com, even if it might look and sound similar, our service addresses the biggest flaw of the aforementioned site. The fact that their message is going to become boring after a while. We do tailor your teaching/message to your story if you wish so, you can even email us and tell your story in detail if the text area is not enough. If you do not wish so we still provide a teaching/message that will never be the same. Just our thoughts. We'd love to hear what the HN community thinks.




You have some line breaks on the frontpage in this section you need to cleanup: --- We will deliver you a teaching tailored to your case, if you specified that on the additional instructions or by email. Otherwise we will deliver you a random teaching, related to how your daily life could be affected by past mistakes, in short, we will try our best to make you more aware of these subtle mechanisms to increase your life`s quality. And don`t panic, we won`t keep you on the phone for hours, it will be short, very short. Think it as your little personal oracle. If you`re not around, we will leave you a voicemail. ---

Personally I would branch out if I were you and call about more than just reminding you not to focus on failures.

For example, how about calling someone in an Austin Powers voice and telling them they've got Mojo, baby, Mojo!

Buddhist quotes would eventually get on my nerves I think.

Also, people like texts better than calls. I would switch to texting- I bet it'd be more popular.

And make your front page shorter and get rid of those images that might be copyrighted.


Thanks for the great suggestions. I have already changed the site according to your advice. Regarding the other suggested models, yes, i have considered SMS and i will probably include it. The other sites part of the network will be less serious than this one. Maybe you are right, most people does not like buddhist quotes, but we are not limited to that. What exactely does make you think that we are limited do that ? i am asking that so i can fix it. Thanks in advance and Kudos


The guy getting hit in the face with the soccer ball sure looks painful, but if it's in the context of a wall then that's actually success as far as the team is concerned.


Of images hosted on wikimedia or freely usable obviously. There are a couple but we are not sure.


Yes you are right. I am thinking about changing that image. Do you have any suggestion aka link ?
