Start Up Now - You Have Nothing to Lose.
I was just sitting here thinking about my day. Earlier I talked to local web wonderdude, John Jonas. The guy is working on a very cool idea that saves people a lot of money. I then had a friend call me on the way home with a good business idea. He wanted to know my thoughts. That call finished as I was pulling up to another friends house so he could show me some projects he’s been working on. He had some very interesting technologies he’ll be launching in the coming weeks.
Now is the right time to start a business. You have nothing to lose.
If you fix a market’s pain - start up now. If you save people money or time - start up now. If you can help people make money - start up now. Go out and get it done. Find other people who are willing to get it done with you. Pool resources. Network like there’s no tomorrow. Work nights. Talk to the right people. Just do what you need to do and make it happen.
Entrepreneurs are like firemen - when everyone else is running out of the burning building, they’re running in with the solution to the problem. Trust me, billionaires will be made out of this crisis.
If you need any friendly advice please do not hesitate to contact me. If I can’t help you then I’ll bet I know someone who can. I’m not selling anything. I don’t consult anymore because I have a real job now. So if you need some marketing or sales tips I can probably help you. We all need to be in this mind frame: put your issues aside and start helping each other out.
P.S…a little prayer goes a long way too!
Funny that you talk about John Jonas. His wife’s sister is one of my best friends.
Left by Lauren on 12/12/2008Chris, great post. I hope to see a lot of new successful companies coming out of this recession… when people can’t get a job (like I couldn’t almost 3 yrs ago), they might uncover other opportunities.
An unemployed guy has plenty of time :p
Also, I’d LOVE to sit down with you - why don’t you do a mastermind group like John Jonas did a few weeks ago? No cost, people just come, throw around ideas, discuss,… it was very very cool.
