I see a lot of the people that you list that have little or no chance too. <BR/>Most people new to the idea of actually running a business themselves come to it with an enthusiam that cannot be dimmed, it doesn't matter that you show them the website doing their idea already and explain the concept of first to market and so on. <BR/>It is the enthusiam that I like, it may be that only 10% of them actually start, but the other 90% get a sudden wake up call to just how much goes into just getting a business started, never mind running one too.<BR/>I find that in a lot of cases a business may not even start, but the person does leave the experience with more of an idea of how hard it is to actually do this, and they go back to work with a different attitude to work and to their boss.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11527528382824938371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751051834657543809.post-36854697353820265842007-09-27T13:07:00.000-07:002007-09-27T13:07:00.000-07:00Sorry that should say people say to me "please can...Sorry that should say people say to me "please can you write an executive , etc."......David McQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769912933963649819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751051834657543809.post-26779898903574192912007-09-27T13:06:00.000-07:002007-09-27T13:06:00.000-07:00Hi Rachel, I am the lower down the pecking order t...Hi Rachel, I am the lower down the pecking order than you and get the same thing. Please can you write an executive CV for me, or look over my business plan. <BR/><BR/>Now I do pro bono work and also partner with friends I know to brainstorm ideas, but this should be a choice that we make, not something expected from people.<BR/><BR/>Royally pisses me off as well!!!David McQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769912933963649819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751051834657543809.post-4405317502635211732007-09-27T13:02:00.000-07:002007-09-27T13:02:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.David McQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769912933963649819noreply@blogger.com
