I'm with you. $10K and I'd be in.

(un)Fortunately...I have $1K of my own - and its not taking us very far... but that will soon change. Thanks to some folks on here, I realized I had to change my mindset.

But that's exactly the point -- how much can an entrepreneur do with a measily $1000?
I think if someone really wants a thousand dollars there better of going out and earning it. Why go out and tell someone over the net your idea for a POSSIBLE yet highly unlikely thousand dollars. And a thousand dollars won't get many ideas anywhere. Maybe Im wrong and he will pay up but im yet to see the day.

Yeah I will pay up -- if the idea's good.

BTW - If you work minimum wage, earning $1000 will take about 194 hours of work.

Plus I'll give you guidance as well, and maybe if it works out really well I can give a much larger round of funding.

But if you're going to be cynical all the time, I think you should forget about ever being an entrepreneur.

Oh and if some of you think it's all about money and has nothing to do with brains, look at this...

Remember a bad idea is a bad idea, no matter how much money you throw at it.

i wouldnt say its about brains. this one red paper clip was brilliant...but not about brains. the guy was already aware of a children's game where you did exactly the same thing. i would say this was about guts and a little bit of crazy more than anything.

Lucky for most of us...we don't work for minimum wage.

Everything you do is about brains my friend, even running on a treadmill. You have to say to yourself "Come on tubby lose that weight and exercise!"

Why am I posting this ? Because in a different forum I saw someone do the same thing offering 10,000$. People sent him there business plans and allthough he was a high ranking member he never was seen again. Who knows he probably stole so many great business Ideas from people that actually dreamt of getting that fake 10,000$

================================================== ========



\I sent u a private msg and aked for your email, you said youd like to keep it private. To me this sounds like you cant think of your own Ideas and your trying to lure people into sending you theres. So if I where you guys I would watch out a little bit because If hes not willing to give out his email ? Hes not gonna give out 1000$ at age 22. What hes doing is actually smart u send him your Idea and it might be the next google or ebay and BAM he can steal it and use it for himself.

Now Im sorry if Im wrong, but how about posting a picture of that 1000$ with a paper saying youngenetrepeneurs.com now dont put up a lame excuse that the money is on your bank account, that money can easily be withdrawn for a day so you can take this picture. And if you dont do this I know its just another good scam to steal Idea.

Just be carefull guys.

You can take a great idea with average people and you will get average results.

However if you have an average idea with great people...you will still get great results.

It doesnt matter how good of an idea it is if the people behind arent willing to work hard it will still fail no matter how much money you throw at it.

My guess is he cant think of a concept by himself so he is using you to think of one for him. Keep up the good work!
