And that's the whole point of business. And I think people learn their lessons. I think a lot of the people who went into dotcoms went in because they thought they were going to make a quick buck. You need to take some of the smarter things that came with the dotcom economy speed to market, direct sales to the consumer and merge that with old business economy ideas like a smart business plan and a smart marketing plan. To me, every time is a good time.
Recessions are a good time, boom times are a good time.
If you have the urge, if you have the desire, if you have the idea that you want to start a business, don't let any outside factor freak you out. You just need to do your homework. Boil it down into little steps, take it a step at a time, and then little by little, tackle things off your list. At least try it and if you fail, big deal. We're too obsessed with failure in this country.
