Entrepreneur Questions!

[BizGuy]

We have been preparing some great questions for an ongoing series of Entrepreneurial interviews with some up and coming entrepreneurs and also some very successful entrepreneurs. On a recent brainstorm with my brother Matthew he asked me: Are you going to send any of the interview questions to our members of YoungEntrepreneur.com?

That was a great idea! We have almost 35,000 members on our forum and over 600 subscribers to our Blog and many of you are already running successful companies and contribute to your own Blog as well. The answers that our members and readers provide will most definitely be very interesting and make for a great read!

So, here is the challenge for you!

Answer the 20 questions we wrote below on your own Blog. Add one other interesting question you wish you could ask other entrepreneurs (this is question #20). Talk about the various entrepreneurial adventures you have been on recently! Then link back to us here at YoungEntrepreneur.com/blog and comment so we can all go and check out your answers on your Blog.

We will then compile a complete list of the entrepreneurs who participated in the Questions and Answers and do a brief spotlight on the top 10 most interesting responses! Matthew, Evan and I will then pick one lucky person with our favorite overall interview and one person who came up with the best original question not on our list and buy you each one iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED™ Special Edition, 8GB – Personalized with Congratulations from YoungEntrepreneur.com (engraved on the back.)

What is the best way to start an email marketing campaign. The three I know about are paid safelist services, credit based safelist services, and of course just creating your own opt in list and using your own software, which takes a while if you have minimal traffic anyway.

Good point,

Having read many posts here, it is obvious more people are looking to learn to become an entrepreneur rather than posts from entrepreneurs, so you are right. Bottom line, you don't learn to be an entrepreneur in my experience, it is inbred, not something you teach. Sure, you can learn how to start a business, but a true entrepreneur ignores risk and has the fortitude to make their ideas and concepts a reality. Nothing wrong with learning, but no one taught me to be a entrepreneur, I was born an entrepreneur. lol

Good luck to all, Mike

We all certainly have more stuff to learn. I'm a CPA, I know business finance and accounting processes and I rely on mentors and self-study to build my marketing and PR knowledge. I have technical expert partners (part-owners, ergo young entrepreneurs themselves) yet I take care of many of the business management aspects. We're young, we haven't seen or experienced all there is to know -- yet probably have more breadth than those that stayed in corporate -- but we're also humble enough to acknowledge there's always something to learn and something to share. That's why we're here.

The Interview looks more interesting for Entrepreneurs because I can find my self where I am in this competitive world.

You can register your website online and it would take only 1500 dollars to do so.

It's always been that way.

Everyone is here to share ideas and learn from each other.

It would be better if I too geta chance for attending this interviews.

This site is for "young entrepreneurs" so OF COURSE you're likely to find lots of youngsters wanting to learn about how to be an entrepreneur.

I've done the 'challenge' on my blog here on YE. Here's the link to it:
