The title should be amended: “Rules to run a bootstrapped indie startup with minimum hassle”, perhaps.
For example, take rule 1: prefer recurring revenue. Recurring revenue is the new hotness, but one time enterprise software licenses provide cash up front as well as the ability to recognize all that sweet revenue in the year it was sold. If you’re bootstrapping and properly accruing your revenue, having some perpetual licenses isn’t a bad thing at all.
