I’m declaring 2007 the Year of the Entrepreneur.
Here’s why:
It’s becoming less and less expensive to start a viable businesses (primarily in the technology/Web world mind you.)
We’re not in a bubble just yet. 2007 could be a boom year.
Entrepreneurs are becoming more socially conscious than ever.
Many of us learned valuable lessons through the Web 1.0 bubble […]
Paul English is currently Chief Technology Officer at Kayak.com, a travel search engine website. The name does make you think of white water rafting, but Kayak’s actually focused on air travel (and ancillary services like car rental, hotels, etc.) The company was started in 2004, and Paul English was a co-founder.
I remember when the site […]
Entrepreneurs are nothing if they’re not failures. Yup, we fail. And it’s more common than you might realize.
Truth is, failure is part of being an entrepreneur. Trial by fire and all that nasty stuff. Although it’s not necessarily that entrepreneurs are huge risk takers, we are doers. And doers make mistakes.
When you do fail, it’s […]
It’s time for Round 3 of the Carnival of Entrepreneurs, with a whackload of great, entrepreneurial content. This round, like the first and second rounds did not disappoint.
I’ve highlighted some of my favorites, but I encourage you to check out everything and anything that interests you.

Entrepreneurs network and seek opportunities. At least successful ones do.
I’ve kept an idea on Mack Collier’s Z-Lister Meme for the last week or so and I’ve watched it explode. Makes sense. It’s easy for people to do, and it’s now hitting a tipping point where it’s creating an incredible number of links to all sorts […]
A boring question but a necessary one. Unless your business is all about taking money under the table and evading the tax man, you’ll need to think about corporate structure.
There’s a few ways you can go. Your decision will impact:
Your relationship with partners (if you have any.)
Your tax situation.
Your liability.
Entrepreneurs shouldn’t get too hung up […]
The first Carnival of Entrepreneurs was a huge success. I received an overwhelming number of great submissions and I hope it generated some traffic and awareness for the bloggers that contributed.
Round 2 of the Carnival of Entrepreneurs is no different. Lots of great submissions. Lots of inspiration. Lots of practical guidance.
I encourage you to check […]

The naysayers have gotten to me.
Ideas are worthless.
But, they actually miss the entire reason why that’s the case.
Mark Cuban on the other hand, gets it. He recently wrote a blog post titled Success and Motivation: Drowning in Opportunity / Winning the Battles You Are In.
He’s listed 3 rules he uses when starting a new business […]
The long tail is a well-recognized term and concept. Chris Anderson’s blog is a great, insightful read and in many ways inspirational to the scrappy, little blogger that could.
I often think of how the long tail concept applies to ideas. What happens during the validation process to see if an idea is worthwhile, and beyond […]
