Once again, my morning coffee has sent me dashing along the web and landed me at an interesting list of "Tips for Budding Entrepreneurs" by Ross Mayfield. Having been self-employed for the majority of my life, I thought it would be a lark to see if I have lived up to Mayfield's list... here we go...I also want to share with you all an interesting quote by one Salvador Dali:
- Change your major. (Done that several... no, wait... many multiple times.)
- Start a business. (yep... many multiple times.)
- Connect with the Net. (oh, you mean the Nets? Yeah, sure.)
- Take responsibility beyond your years. (Never!!)
- Go abroad. (Twice, so far... and I've decided I'm retiring on the coast of Italy, does that count?)
- Experiment at the margin. (Eh.)
- Have fun with failure. (That comes with not following #4.)
- Take time for strategy. (Strategy is for those weak of mind! OK, who said "sour grapes?!")
- Pay yourself. (What's that word, "pay"? Hey, I have to pay my creditors first!)
- Service the desire. (If you mean my desire, then yeah, always!)
- Do different. (Hmmm. Needs work, I think.)
- Work with good people. (Definitely! Not hard in the polymer clay world.)
- Stick to ethics. (Who's?)
- Be a businessperson. (A what?)
- Start a weblog. (Yeah, me and about ten million others. How does that work with #11?)
"Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing."
For those hoping for more polymer clayish photos, please be patient. More to follow - soon! (ish)
