Daily Journal- 9/19/11

Getting into the swing of things is always hard after a weekend of fun and socializing. I had to take a nap in the middle of the day. Today was definitely a buffer day.
My worries are coming up again- mostly to do with finances and not having a solid roadmap for [...]

If I Had To Start Over Again

I keep coming back to this, “What would I do if I would start all over again?”.  I was thinking in terms of what business to build.  I realized that building a community and monetizing it is extremely hard.  For me, I don’t see a clear path to revenue.  It’s too complicated.  There’s too many [...]

Anxious About The Summit

I been stressed and anxious the last couple of days about the upcoming summit.  In the rollercoaster life of a entrepreneur, I feel somewhere at the bottom.  It’s not quite the bottom but on the way there.  The only way I can deal with it is just write down the worst case scenarios and then [...]

Some More Words Of Encouragement

Entrepreneurs need all the encouragement they can get.  And here’s a good one from an entrepreneur I met and later interviewed.
I recently got an interview with Guy K. and announced it on TBF.  My friend let me know this which I just let it help build me up:
This is a huge coup! You’re very resourceful, [...]

I Should Blog More

Well, to start off, I should probably blog more. It’s more for myself than anything. I mean, I don’t want to look back 20 years from now and see a whole time block missing from my entrepreneurial-God life.
Also, it’s great to see that people clicked through my sites to find my blog… and [...]

F This, I’m Getting On The Inc List

Not sure what came over me, especially since the last blog post was months ago.  But just had a thought today that I’m going to f’ing get on the Inc 30 Under 30 list.  And I’m going to do it in 2 years, by my 29th birthday.  I’m reading about Sprouter.  It’s great, a community [...]

Update

Man, it’s been so long since I blogged about life and entrepreneurship.  Things are starting to happen.  Last week, the site I’m working on, TeenBusinessForum got mentioned in an article in FastCompany.  That’s HUGE!  It’s like getting a link from Inc.  I did my first presentation in front of a crowd of 60 the week [...]

Entrepreneurship Class Weeks 1 & 2

So I started classes March 2nd. The first week was relatively easy going. We were handed out materials and had an introductory session. Going into the program however, I wondered if I belong there. I knew that I had an idea and was accepted but I really wondered who the type [...]

Accepted Into NVTC FastTrac Program

Yeah!!! Just got the email a few minutes ago that I got into the program that is starting this March for one of the sites that I acquired. Persistence absolutely pays.  Back in September, I submitted two applications into the program.  The selection committee liked my entrepreneurial spirit but not the fact that [...]

Power Of Social Media In Face of Disaster

We all heard it before- social media/social networking is just a fad.  It will go away just like bell bottom jeans did.  I think what’s happening right now with the Haiti disaster is proving otherwise.  Here’s why.
Social media has enabled fundraising to be more powerful. 
Think about how fundraising was done traditionally.  There were celebrities, [...]
