Imagine that! Entrepreneurs Advised to keep day job!
I read this from a Chicago Business Article. I thought it was quite interesting. For as long as I have been in direct sales, they always pushed doing your business full time when in reality that does not fit for everyone. So enjoy the post!
Quit your job and devote all of your energy (and finances) to starting a business: That once sounded like the best formula for entrepreneurial success. But at times like this, when jobs are scarce, would-be entrepreneurs are gravitating toward a safer and, in some ways, more challenging path: moonlighting—keeping a full-time job while nurturing a startup in their off hours.
“In the end, it's probably the smartest thing,” says Barry Moltz, a Chicago-based business consultant and contributor to Crain's small-business blog, Enterprise City. “Because you don't know if you're going to be successful and you don't know if you're cut out to be an entrepreneur.”
Tiffany Kurtz started a cupcake business in 2009 with her husband, who works in automotive retail management. Ms. Kurtz, a marketing executive in the Chicago office of New York-based OmniCom Group Inc., had been thinking about starting a side business for a while. Last fall, she finally decided the time was right.
“The economy was really going south,” Ms. Kurtz says. “And especially in advertising and marketing, people were losing their jobs left and right. . . .You just never know what's going to happen.”
Their business, Flirty Cupcakes, sells baked goods out of a van that cruises downtown Chicago. Because the location and hours of the van (known by customers as “Big Blue”) change daily, its whereabouts are updated through social media. Flirty Cupcakes has more than 3,600 followers on Twitter and 7,300 Facebook fans.
Ms. Kurtz, 40, and her husband saw Flirty Cupcakes as a small venture they could start with their savings. They expected to invest about $20,000 to outfit the van; it ultimately cost $50,000. That included the addition of a generator, a second air conditioner and replacement of the van's floor and walls—twice. (The first time, the city's health department said the van's interior wasn't smooth enough.)
Ms. Kurtz and her husband drive the van on some nights and weekends, but they've hired two bakers and two drivers to help carry the load.
Tricia Gott, meanwhile, is thinking about beer—when she's not working as a lead systems analyst for OfficeMax Inc. With Rich Szydlo, head bartender at Chicago restaurant onesixtyblue, she has launched Big Shoulders Beer Co.

What! Your Doctor Has Been Lying to YOU!
Black Gene Lies / Dead Doctor’s Don’t Lie Seminar Series – Part 1
The things that the African American community have been lied to about!
WE HAVE BEEN BAMBOOZLED, HOODWINKED BY THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY!
It is a proven fact that African Americans suffer hyper tension, heart disease,
and diabetes more than any other race. Why?
We live in the same neighborhoods, shop at the same stores, eat the same foods, send our kids to the same schools, and work at the same jobs. Did you know that blacks in Africa don't have these diseases?
What is the difference?
Education! I am not talking about school education. I am talking about the education on the causes of diseases at their root and what to do about them. It is now known what the problem is with the health care system. Doctors are not in the business of curing you. They make their money by "treating" you.
We have started a campaign to get the word out to all of America on how to live longer and healthier lives. The “Black Gene Lie/Dead Doctors Don’t Lie ” Part 1 series seminars has started in St. Louis, Missouri to get the word out to people like you.
After hearing what you can do to combat these diseases, you will want to acquire the proper knowledge on getting the nutrition and an action plan to get you back to a more healthier lifestyle without costly doctor bills!
YOU do not have to suffer from Aids/HIV, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Cancer, Arthritis, Infant Mortality, Nutrition for Pregnancy, Women’s Health issues and even Asthma and more disease plaguing the African American and Latino Communities.
Did you know that over 900 diseases have been cured in animals? If those exist, why wouldn’t they exist for Humans?
If you have not heard the CD Black Gene Lies 1 & 2 by Dr. Joel Wallach…STOP RIGHT NOW....Get the cds! Dr. Joel Wallach’s Interview w/ Herbalist Dirk Twine about the Ten Top Killer Diseases of African Americas.
He also has a book: Black Gene Lies (Slave Quarter Cures) The medical establishment in industrialized nations, led by the medical establishment in America, continues to perpetuate the false dogma that Black individuals are lesser than White individuals as patients and as care givers-and of course during the 19th and 20th centuries, the American medical system supported this dogma through the pseudoscience of eugenics and later in the 20th and 21st centuries through the false dogmas of Genetics.
I was so blown away by the information Dr. Wallach gave on that interview, it was awesome. Let me tell you it has changed how I think about me, my family, my community, my race and the world.
This has changed the way I think about my business. THIS CAN CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS ALL TOGETHER! If you are not hosting or sponsoring a Black Gene Lies seminar in your town, you need to re-think it! This could determined if you want BE ABOUT A LIFESTYLE change or just sit on the side lines and watch other people actually change their entire life around.
You should dig into every family member, friend and neighbor and let them hear this CD! IT IS life changing.
The fact that a doctor would rather continue to keep you coming to his office earning $750,000 of your money than give you or suggest a mineral is just BAFFLING.
This is a lifestyle investment in you.
