About Ask the Entrepreneurs

Ask the Entrepreneurs is the blog I started as a way to figure out what it takes to be an ass-kicking entrepreneur.

If these were the Laura Ingalls Wilder days, the path would be clear – and I’d be packing up my wagon.

Instead, it’s 2009 and many of us ‘Under-30s’ face a paralyzing array of freedoms and choices to make in life.

What’s at the root of satisfaction, independence or stability?

What am I good at?

What am I supposed to do with my life?

Should I try to make a difference in the world? Is that even possible?

How can I get rich?

These are the questions I ask myself, and I know I’m not the only one of my generation who’s asking.

I have lots and lots of answers – so many, that I start thinking what I really need is some magic wisdom-strainer to parse a thousand lifetimes’ worth of experiences. Oh, and I need those thousand lifetimes’ worth of experiences too.

I got this idea that I’d talk to all kinds of different entrepreneurs, and figure out which answers they ended up picking.

And then, why keep it all bottled up? As it turns out, this has become my own exercise in enterprise.

Join me as I asking, seek, sift and share.
