Pic­ture from here

I orig­i­nally wrote this for Jour­ney to Get Paid pub­lished here.

It seems more and more of my past asso­ciates and friends are start­ing busi­nesses, mostly ones deal­ing with a tech front. You have Shea who seems to be start­ing a a new busi­ness model for some­thing every week. Most of his stuff deals with blog­ging or envi­ro­men­tal con­cerns such as wind energy. He works for him­self and his lat­est ven­ture deals with mak­ing t-shirts.

I have another friend who just left his cur­rent cozy job to do a secu­rity com­pany with a part­ner. He’s planned this for months so it’s not a phan­tom leap in the dark. I am how­ever very impressed — now if I could only find a part­ner to do a sim­i­lar thing here in the midwest.

Finally a friend from Ore­gon con­tacted me to ask me ques­tions on kiosks. It turns out he started an eco friendly baby item web­site. Of course I think there should be a blog attached to it, but he has his own online busi­ness which he said is going well. (btw use the coupon code BRENTSPAWN there to get 5% off).

I’m inter­ested and ecsta­tic about new media. New media how­ever for some­one like me doesn’t pay the bills. Until I can fig­ure out how to suc­cess­fully mon­e­tize my activ­i­ties I’ll have to keep my nor­mal bor­ing day job.
