So after falling asleep watching television half-way through writing this post (I took a break – it makes sense, trust me) – I wake up to find it is 6AM Monday morning. Crap…
Here’s what you missed:
Road Show for Young Entrepreneurs Award
Asian Young Entrepreneur awards. This takes place in Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Brunei.  I know there some people from Malaysia who are reading this – look into this awards show!
Mentorship Project for New Entrepreneurs
I’ve decided India is totally into entrepreneurs.  Half of the articles I find are about Indian entrepreneurs, and more …read more

So you’re applying for colleges and you don’t know what to look for. You applied to your state schools and every other outlying school you can imagine – and hey, what do you know, you got accepted into all of them! Well before you choose the most prestigious of schools, let’s talk things over.
You’re going to college to improve your skills as an entrepreneur. So what does your degree mean? Not too much since YOU are the first employer of your company.
But Jim – how do I pick the right college for me? How do …read more

So I overlapped ages – well, who cares? Sometimes age groups can merge (or at least that’s what they want you to think!). An audience consisting of people from ages 30-49 are wanting to reach out to their inner youth while maintaining a good level of their maturity. What does this mean? Sell your product to this group if it is easy to use, potentially technologically advanced, and helps boost efficiency. Though being incredibly vague, that description can be easily expanded. For instance, if you were to sell an automatic, mountable organizing rack. …read more

Fresh out of college, almost out of college, into a job, out of a job, having kids, and maybe still trying to hold on to that youth. This age group (I would like to imagine) embraces reason, price, quality, delivered pizza, and frozen food. If you are releasing brand new computer hardware or software, secure the 20-35 age group! We (I say “we” since I fit into this age group) already know what we like. Assuming you are an aspiring young entrepreneur, this should be a familiar audience. This group doesn’t need the simplest contraptions with …read more

Dear Readers,
Babies do not have a bank account. They do not have money, nor do they have the power to reason with their parents… so why would you market to them?

Who is your market for this product? The brothers and sisters? The uncle? Of course, it is the parents. Every business has this problem – even politicians do – to whom do we market this product?
As a young entrepreneur, you have the advantage of knowing the young audience. Marketing methods differ greatly between generations. People often don’t know the full potential of their …read more

I fear the worst for the fate of our English language. It’s one thing if you make a spelling error – it is another if your whole language is comprised of abbreviations and misspellings. Will this eventually become acceptable?

I’ve been noticing that abbreviations and misspellings are becoming more and more prevalent throughout the younger community. It became mainstream when I was a teenager (I am currently 21, for those who don’t know), so I even grew up during this whole mess. Some of my friends aren’t even able to carry on a serious conversation (online) without …read more

Here’s how this works. It’s Sunday, people are busy – so I find the young entrepreneur news so you don’t have to!

Original Article from CNN.com
This is an article on how to create true profit. It even has a true profit calculator! Basically the article talks about taking risks and weighing investment options. I found this article to be very boring, but at least it has a calculator!

The title is IsraelNetSphere Panel and Advice to New Entrepreneurs. This article is posted on ExeedTechnology.com.
Aside from the author’s atrocious grammar, the panelists apparently made a few good points. …read more

For those of you who just got here, “Oh Crap Situations” will be a weekly Saturday installment that includes situations you may one day face, as a young entrepreneur. This week’s situation actually comes from a real situation from one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta – R. Thomas Deluxe Grill. Part of the reason I like this restaurant is because they didn’t put an “e” at the end of “grill.”
Digression aside, here’s the situation. You bought a lot in a VERY nice location. You decide to plop a restaurant on it. You follow? …read more
