It astounds me
when I talk to people
and they DON’T have
a business or idea they’re working on.
The opportunities are amazing.
If you don’t believe me,
believe Guy Kawasaki.
“Think of everything that
an entrepreneur needs
(tech ones, anyway),
and you’ll see that most things
are free or cheap.
Marketing: use blogs and social media
to promote your products.
Tools: most tools are Open Source and free.
Microsoft offers free versions of applications
like Word, Excel and PowerPoint in the cloud!
Infrastructure: More cloud goodness—
you don’t have to buy servers anymore.
People: callous for me to say,
but in a recession,
people are free or cheap.
Office space: what office space?
You can work out of your garage
(like David Hewlett and Bill Packard)
or just form a virtual team.
The bottom line is
this is one of the cheapest times
to be an entrepreneur,
so go into your garage and start prototyping.”
You heard the man.
Go!
