I'm confused why this is on the front page. The title left me with the impression that this post was about someone quitting to live for Monday aka the start of the work week in most parts of the world, and doing something else.

On clicking the link, I found a blog post with 50 reasons the author of the post came up with for shuttering his business that was called "Living for Monday".

I didn't read the list, just skimmed through the top few and there was nothing profound there.

Just fyi for others.

I also expected a completely different article. I'm not sure what the exact point was based on the title and actual article.

There is absolutely no context around this post what so ever. I'm going to ask the obvious here; So what exactly "was" Living for Monday?

Just posted some context here: http://livingvalues.wordpress.com/2014/04/07/what-was-living...

A shorter explanation would be nicer...

It was a company that went through several iterations, like many startups. The latest iteration was built on a recurring revenue model for professional development training targeting Millennials at work. Think Lynda meets CreativeLive for people under 35 trying to figure out how to navigate the professional world, especially within corporations and agencies.

The shutdown was a direct result of misalignment of vision with our main investor.
