The Entrepreneur’s Journal

Welcome to my weblog. This blog is a real-time account of my experiences towards becoming a successful entrepreneur. As I write this, all I have is a full-time job, a vision, and a few thousand dollars to put to work. You will be taken through the trials and tribulations of my experiences as an entrepreneur AS THEY HAPPEN. I will update my ”journal” for all to see and include thoughts, ideas, business statistics, feelings, hardships, successes, etc.

I feel that everyone at some point in their life wants to pursue owning their own business at one time or another. There are certain risks associated with this that keep people from pursuing their dreams and getting out of the so-called ”rat race” that is the world we live in. I hope this journal serves as a tool for my own personal motivation in pursuing my dream of owning a (if not several) successful business(es), as well as the motivations of the reader to actually get up and start pursuing their dreams.

I hope to, years from now, look back at what I wrote in the early stages of my pursuit and truly appreciate where I am (or will be). I hope to learn from my mistakes and relish in my successes along my journey towards becoming a self-sufficient entrepreneur. I hope to provide motivation and knowledge to those who harvest the same vision and mind-set that I do towards entrepreneurship. I hope to use this blog as a vehicle for information brainstorming from the comments of the readers who read this. I may learn something new from a passer-by reader that could save me thousands of dollars in mistakes. Hopefully I generate an upsell idea that I didn’t think of that will help me out immensely in one of my business venture. Who knows?

I may make it, or I may not. As you’ll see in my posts, I am putting myself in a risky situation where failure is not an option. I plan to quit my full-time job shortly to devote 100% of my time towards my business ventures. Although the idea of starting your own business is risky, I’m trying to be smart about it. I’m putting myself in a situation where I will have the necessary tools, mentors, and information to not go belly-up, but it all depends on me and what I make of it. I have ideas right now that could potentially turn into cash cows, but they are not going to start earning revenue on their own. I have to put the time, money, and sweat into creating my dream.

Please feel free to email me or post comments. I have very thick skin and encourage all criticism as I feel that without open discussion of thoughts and feelings, nothing will be learned.
