"COOL"
ENTREPRENEUR
These are the up and coming next generation of “hot wires” of Small Business in America and worldwide. They are not going to wait on education because they are ahead in their class, so far in some cases that educators may tag them as ADD or whatever the acronym is for hyperactive. In reality they are simply itchy to get going and they want to do, to act, to make it happen, to let it rip, to be Xtreme, That is what they are about. Everything their age (18-27) whether man or women is into is fast, electronic, hip, cool, belly buttoned, communicative, tattooed, fleshy and more. But in reality they are no different than the "Boomers" or the Korean or WWII generations when they were young - they just have different platforms. "Cool" Entrepreneurs have a whole new world of platforms to deliver their message of "who", "what" and "why" they are about. Platforms only imagined twenty years ago like portable CD/DVD players, iPods, Blackberry, talk radio, reality TV, and on the Internet at YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, etc... But regardless of their style, they will make it happen as Entrepreneurs – just watch!"BEEN THERE"

The first thing you need to eliminate is any remorse, hesitation, or negative thoughts that you have regarding where you are with your life now. Get rid of the arrogant thought that you have done this or done that and nothing is new to you so life is a bore. Don't blame your spouse, your job, the fact that you were fired and who fired you, or the fact that you are in a rut on anyone except you! If you do it will only cause you to feel guilty and will not help you get started down the exciting road to owning your own business. After all, you were the one who decided to stay and work for the same company day in and day out for all these years. You were the one who could have been preparing an escape plan from working for someone else all along in case you got fired - but, here you are fired and no plan. You were the one who has been caught in a rut which is nothing more than a grave with the ends kicked out because you could not force yourself to face the inevitable. Therefore, now its time to live and be the Entrepreneur you always wanted to be and use your talents and abilities to build a business of your own. You don't need to build a major corporation or make a new product that sells nationally or work to become the "Entrepreneur Of The Year" in your city. All you need to do is enough to make you happy, fulfill your dream for a business, provide a product or service that is viable and meets a economic, social, public or consumer need, and in the end makes you a profit. Its now time to be your own boss, for you to make the decision when you will and when you won't have to work, to give yourself a raise anytime you want, take a day off when you want, and have fun doing it all along!"BOOMER"
