Comment on What is the Difference Between an Entreprenur and a Founder? by editor

Maybe “Founder” is more of a factual description and “Entrepreneur” is more of a occupational description.

Entrepreneur gives people the impression that one is still actively engaged in the business

Founder gives the impression that he/she is a part of corporate history.

Maybe the real difference is just that”Entrepreneur” has become a popular catchphrase.

for the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it seems like the recipe of a good Indiana Jones film would be 1 part Nazis and 1 part Hebrew artifact

Hello,

Interesting article.
We’re building a Free Entrepreneurs Investors community. Our idea is to connect entrepreneurs/inventors/investors together.They can post their projects/capital needs. Most entrepreneurs/inventors are too isolated and just don’t know what to do. They also do not have all the financial resources to raise money. We will be honored if you can participate to our community.

I leave you the decision to publish the address of the website (thestreetmarket.com).

Thanks and good work!

Comment on Benjamin Franklin…America’s first Enrepreneur? by yalnifj

Ben Franklin was definitely a great entrepreneur. Whether or not he was America’s first entrepreneur is debatable since Christopher Columbus and even the pilgrims showed a great deal of entrepreneurism before Franklin’s time.

But, my main point isn’t to argue who was the first or greatest American entrepreneur. What I think this post really points to is that America could be considered the “Land of Entrepreneurism.”

First, anyone who ever immigrated to America showed enough of the qualities of an entrepreneur to leave behind the old world for a new opportunity. Talk about taking a risk!

I think this same spirit still lives on in American’s today. The attitudes and entrepreneurism that brought our ancestors to America has been passed on and it continues to drive us today.

I think it would be a very interesting demographic study to see which parts of the world have the highest entrepreneurial tendencies and then look back at their history to see if there is any correlation. Utah and California have a high rate of entrepreneurism… could that also be tied to their history?

Comment on Choosing a Partner – Friend or Family? by Kesha Gayles-Brown

I agree 100%. In addition, anyone looking for a business partner should do a personal one on one interview and possibly a background check on their potential business partner. They should also ask for a resume and references in order to check the person’s qualifications. Working in a business with someone else comes with a lot of additional risks and accountability. Both partners should sit down and draw up a partnership agreement together, then have it reviewed by a neutral 3rd party (an attorney). If you don’t already have a friend or family member in mind, then a good place to start looking for a potential business partner is on BizPartnerHunt.com

Comment on Choosing Between Opportunities by Young Entrepreneurs of America

Excellent post. I think too many decisions are made based on “financial analysis” alone. While a good NPV is an important piece of information, it is not THE only piece of information. Most entrepreneurs are successful because they do the analysis and in the end follow their gut instinct.

Kampai!
