Countdown to Millions

From now on, this is the only crazy thing on this blog.

I often joke that I must be crazy, or at the very least daft, to attempt to start a business in the current economic climate.  But just today, I found an article that has my back in my endeavor to start a business and make millions.

And this isn’t just any article; no.  It comes straight from the land of fancy accents, queens, Mary Poppins, and Sting: England.  And as we all know, England is without fault (Unless you count bad teeth, the enigma of beefeaters, and all the people they’ve killed in the pursuit of an empire that has since fallen), so such an article is always welcome around these parts…especially when it makes me seem nearly sane.

In the article it discusses many of the reasons that I decided to start this mission, including the simple idea of trying to overcome a challenge, and even goes so far as to say that a new golden age of entrepreneurship is on the horizon.  Now, I’m not saying that I will in any way contribute to this golden age, but it’s comforting to know that there are others like me who see this time not as a cause for fear, but rather as a prime opportunity to create and change the world around us.  Whether the world is simply limited to our own personal life, or whether it reaches into other spheres of influence, there’s no denying that there is great potential for the entrepreneurs in all of us.

So, with that in mind, over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting some thoughts of mine on how to foster that creative, entrepreneurial spirit.  Who knows, with some training maybe you too could become part of the coming entrepreneurial revolution.  And just as with any revolution, it’s always the crazy ones that seem to lead the way.
