Ideas Flow Again! Im so excited.

I dont know what has happened but I think Ive gotten back to being in an environment or a state of mind that allows my ideas to flow freely again. Like I had a big blockage going or something. Im so happy.
Sad thing is I havent been writing them all down so now I begin.
entreprenuer stories.
I want to write a book on the stories of entreprenuer's by interviewing them, their families, and associates, and put it all together to form an inspiring book of people who took the leap into starting their own business. I sat down with the owner of this school photography business Im going to get into and he told me most of his story over lunch about being fired, and taking what he knew, and making it into a business, when everyone else in his company started looking for another job. He emphasized the need to keep your eyes focused on the long term goal while making sure short term goals get met, but not allowing the short term losses affect the long term win. Oh, how I love entreprenuer's. Hey, you gotta love what you do, right?
Another idea of ming is sparked by reading this article of Nemko's. http://www.martynemko.com/pub/articles/Nemko'srules.shtm
In it he talks about Career Contentment and how it can be found by going against what the crowd does and getting into an industry that isnt so "glamourous" or competitive. Its a good read. But the main part that stirred my imagination is the part where he suggests people move out of the Bay Area. huh? Move away from San Fran? You got to be kidding right? Its the best city around. Well, its also highly competitive and if you are willing to look around you will find a career where you are treated better, both personally and financially, because, though it may not have tons of people waiting for a job opening, it will be able to meet your requirements and the 8 specific attributes of job satisfaction Nemko lays out in his article. Happy reading.
But to my idea. Pittsburgh. Diamond in the rough is how I like to think of it. Because of its healthcare system it is poised for some serious growth in the next decade as boomers continue to need advanced healthcare and end up flocking to the area to retire. Yes, more old people in Pittsburgh, just what Pittsburgh needs right? Well actually yes. It will pump billions of dollars into the local industry allowing them to relieve debt, keep taxes continually low on average, and help to create an infrastructure that will continue to create new jobs. It really is just a matter of time and anyone that invests in the city now will reap rewards in the future. At least, that how I see it. ;-)
So those are my ideas for now. Ill continue to write more down, hopefully. Until then, May God be with you.
