Have we Lost Touch
Think back to a happier, easier time of your life when the only thing you had to think about was if I was going to ride my bike or walk to the store. Today our society is always about the next best thing, the next product, the next song. Really do we all have Attention Deficit Disorder that we cannot just sit back and think about what we use to do.
Recently I realized that my passion was to create companies, now so far none of them have been great successes some stay afloat on their own others crashed and burned. But this time I really think I have found the one that will make it. The problem is my expertise in the field is very limited and everyone knows never ever get into a business you don’t know. But what can I do, I know this idea has merit, and know it can make money, I know I can do it with some trial and error.
The problem I am running into, is in this day and age especially in the last six months or so, it has become very difficult to raise money, banks aren’t handing it out like candy anymore, VCs want way to large of a share, and those small business grants the feds used to hand out have all dried up. What is a person supposed to do, where do you turn when the economy is in the gutter.
It is counter intuitive to spend money in a time of recession but this is what is needed right now. I am not the only one out there with ideas, and I am not the only one looking for start-up money. The government thinks that infrastructure programs are the way to boost the economy, and yes they will have an impact; the construction worker needs a company to work for, that company needs administration, those administrators need to buy food and so on. But really these jobs are already there and all the secondary and tertiary jobs are either low paying or non skilled.
How about flooding the market with VC money, get that great talent moving, get them into gear creating the next best thing. See how I linked that. As much as we want to go back to the days of old we are here and now, and the only way to move on is to create the next thing to move to.
If you are a VC or an investor and looking for the next best thing to put your money into leave me a message and I’ll pitch you my idea, or ideas I have plenty.
