Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Forbes published an under 30 tech list featuring entrepreneurs who've made it big. Read about it here.
I heard about it because one of the guys is a neighbor's grandson. We were chatting while he walked his dog and he told me his grandson made the list. It fires me up to read stuff like this. Yes, there are millions of aspiring entrepreneurs out there. Some use Kickstarter, also a great read. I can't tell you how many times I tried a new idea and fell on my face. Sometimes, it makes some money or an impact. Sometimes it crashes and burns. But, as you can see with this article you've got to keep trying! As a great friend Serge Beauregard* liked to say, you've only got so many heartbeats.
What do you think? Got some ideas/case studies/fish that got away stories to share?
