the future of entrepreneurship September 1, 2006

hi,

i just read an article about the 2 big recruitment portals in Romania (ejobs and bestjobs) which worth alot and will worth even more soon enough, when Romania will get accepted in EU.

Actually this is a very interesting way of doing business: you get a briliant idea – it doesn’t have to be original, it is enough to be new for the country in which you want to implement it and then when it grows and it grows, you will just get offers, and you could sell and come with another briliant idea and develop another business and so on…just that you have to think about the money and not to involve your soul – “selling your baby” could be a tough thing to do.

But look at GeCAD – they sold the best antivirus to Microsoft and together with it they gave away also the right to ever concive antivirus software. Though with the money obtained they developed new services which might have remaind at the stage of idea for a long time without having money to invest. And without having money to invest FAST, someone else might have come with the idea before them.

Again, Alienware – most of us haven’t heard of them – well they used to produce luxury laptops – or in other words – laptops for very very rich people – they were almost taylor made – well, they accepted an offer from DELL and they gave away their right to ever produce laptops. But…who knows what they have in mind

So i guess the key to success, and also the future of entrepreneurship is to come up with an idea,  and make a small business but have quality products, for a small but rich nishe – you will say this is nothing new…well let’s think further…when you developed your brand enough, you can sell it for good money and start building another one in the same domain or not. What i am trying to say is that you either do business the traditional way and you will just climb stairs and might still be the manager of a minimarket in your 60′s, or you can be dynamic and take an elevator and jump from a business to a bigger business, and that is variety, and that is LIVING LIFE!

Stillness is good only fo statues!

have a nice journey,
