2007 Will Be the Year of the Entrepreneur
I’m declaring 2007 the Year of the Entrepreneur.
Here’s why:
- It’s becoming less and less expensive to start a viable businesses (primarily in the technology/Web world mind you.)
- We’re not in a bubble just yet. 2007 could be a boom year.
- Entrepreneurs are becoming more socially conscious than ever.
- Many of us learned valuable lessons through the Web 1.0 bubble bursting.
- Entrepreneurs (and small business owners) continue to drive the economy.
There are plenty of people raising flags about Web 2.0 and the bubble bursting again. And without a doubt there are many plain old stupid businesses out there. And I’m not taking away from the people who are concerned with Web 2.0 going poof.
But there’s much more value being created today than in the past.
Not in terms of absurd valuations, or money invested to make people into paper millionaires … but real value.
So good luck in 2007. May it be your best year ever. And the Year of the Entrepreneur.
Here Here! Great rationale. I agree completely, there’s never been a better time to start a company.
Chris – thanks for the comment and positive feedback.
I had hoped more people would pick up the call to action that 2007 would be the Year of the Entrepreneur.
I’ve read that 2007 will be the Year of Enterprise 2.0 – but it just doesn’t have the same ring to it! *laugh*
It truly is a great time to be an entrepreneur.
Great article. Thank you. waiting for others in this theme.
