Entrepreneurial Inspiration

I am addicted to entrepreneurship. I dream of owning my own business but lack the self confidence to launch myself off that side of that cliff without being 100% certain that the parachute on my back will open. Which, of course, is impossible. Only two things in life are guaranteed. Death and taxes and with technology advancing at the speed of light, I’m not so sure about death.

I received the latest update email from an entrepreneur’s community I joined called StartUp Nation. In the email was a link to the web forum that listed ideas about starting a business. There were some really good ideas in there. As always, though, before getting involved with any of them, do your homework and make sure you are not involving yourself into some kind of scam.

If you don’t want to sift though pages and pages of posts there are a few sites that will provide you with ideas for starting a business such as:

Springwise

Iconoculture

Entrepreneur.com

For myself, I’ve decided to get involved, somehow, with technology. I love to cook and hope to open my own coffee shop/bakery one day but I thought about it more and decided that that’s something I want to do in my golden years after I’ve made my multi-billions in technology.

I’ve got an idea which still needs fleshing out a little more. The main thing I’m trying to work out is how much it is going to cost to get started and where the capital is going to come from. I want a debt free company so loans will be the very, very, very, very,very,very,very last thing I look at and I do not want my company to be publicly held so selling shares is out of the question. I have this fear that I will put a ton of work and effort into building the company and someone will come along and try to take it from me.

A friend of mine’s husband owned his own software company without loans or going public so I’m going to see how he did it.

Thank the editor. Buy me a coffee!
