Are you an entrepreneur that's tried a bunch of shït but not broken through?

[cg410]

Great, me too. I'm 25 years old, own half a dozen corporations, and can easily make enough money to survive and have fun in 2 of the most expensive cities in the country (the US, that is) and make everyone I went to high school with jealous, but none of us are here to start a busines to "make a living." We're here to make it big.

On April 1st, 2010 (no joke), I'm picking a remote part of the country (anywhere where there's no people), getting a T-1 line, and not leaving until my company has $1,000,000 in the bank. The reason I haven't broken through is that I've been distracted by life, made complacent by small success, and haven't been able to focus on the big goal.

I'm looking for 4 people to join me.

About You. Most of what follows describes you: You're in your 20s and have entrepreneurial experience of the Internet-based variety. You could start a corporation in 15 minute or less. You know what form 1120-S is without looking it up (unless you're bent on LLCs, in which case you can alternatively know what advantages an LLC has over an S-Corp). You know something about Internet marketing. You have too many business ideas and not enough time. You're good with computers generally -- perhaps a tech guy but not necessarily, as long as you understand that money can be made online and want to go that route. You're in an urban area. You're not socially inept and can network and talk without people wanting to give you a noogie every time you open your mouth. ...and for this operation, you must be capable of being a team player.

About Me. About half the business ideas I've put out there have been tech ideas. One of the coolest ones became a Google PR5 almost overnight with no real SEO -- pretty nifty. Another one got me on TV and in the newspaper on several occasions. Another one does IT consulting and makes me most of my cash yet requires work from me in order to generate that cash (as opposed to a company that can run itself). Another dozen have done absolutely f*cking nothing, save for what I've learned.

The goal is to collaborate with up to 4 other people (if I don't find 4, I'll go with as many smart people as I can find, and if I can't find any, I'll go alone) and make one or many business opportunities happen. Once the team is formed, we write up a partnership agreement, and from that point on, we're all equals. Everyone comes on 4/1 with a few good business ideas that they think can be launched within a very short period of time. If your business idea requires a year of development, write it on a piece of paper and flush it down the toilet because we're making it happen now. If 90%+ of your business ideas are going to fail (and they are), let's pick the ones that we can fail quickly at so that we can go to the successful ones. My experience is that the ones that you can build in a weekend are the winners anyway. Look at eBay, Facebook, Hotmail, YouTube, etc. -- all started with code that could be written in no time. My PR5 was written over a weekend and I marketed it by posting half a dozen ads on craigslist before it was blogged about, linked to, and syndicated all over.

If you're interested, reply or PM me with what you're interested in and a brief overview of your past successes or failures. Let me know what your skills are. Can you make Web pages? SEO? Internet marketing? iPhone apps? Create a financial plan? Can you stay put in one place until you make it happen?

Serious. Inquiries. Only.

I am actually turned off by this post. The way you worded it sounds more as a scam to me. Sorry just my opinion.

[OnePriceSites]

I think I saw your informercial.

[noob]

Can't say I fall in the same boat as you

[cg410]

If you read through the entire post and think that I'm not for real, well, you're more skeptical than I.

I did read the entire post. I am not against you, or telling anyone not to deal with you. I am just saying in my opinion I wouldn't do this.

Best of luck to you! As a fellow college student who's waiting to break through, I feel ya man. You should definitely write a blog and try and get it some press, would be a great read.

You could start a corporation in 15 minute or less.

Myfayt... its my opinion that you contribute nothing positive to this forum and every time I come here I read more silly shit written by none other than you. Go do something worthy with your life so you do not have to drag others down. BYE
