So, this is how I kinda feel. Using this blog as my
entrepreneurial journal, my goal is to look back at the past and seek out new
wisdom. My aim is set on:
·
Capturing the significance of the learning
experiences I have survived.
·
Documenting current studies and research.
·
Gluing the pieces of my pondering mind into
something coherent and useful.
After successfully completing a one year program to get back
into school, I am going to school full time again. My family has put up with my
ramblings about starting a small business since I quit working last March. My objectives--to stay home with the kids and
go back to school. In the soup has been mother’s day out pre-school, selling
cakes, bookkeeping, selling unused items on Craigslist and many other fleeting
ideas. None of those have materialized. Now that I have a choice of which
classes I register for, I jumped in, feet first, and signed up for a small
business/entrepreneurship class.
This week our class reviewed a list of business blogs with
the purpose of finding a favorite. This
was a welcomed task, since I would be doing the same thing. There is so much information out there and many
students in the class, including myself, got a little overwhelmed. What I
discovered was that I had to be a little picky about where I spend my time.
Ultimately what I found myself looking for was a blog with resources and tools
beyond one person’s ramblings.
I chose to read The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can
Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell for my book report. This is a great book to glean an
understanding of how epidemics of all kinds get started. Word-of-mouth doesn't work quite the way I used to think it did. Maybe I will post my
book review next week, after it’s all put together.
Coming next week…selecting my 5 favorite ideas for the $100
challenge.
