The reason why I’m back is because I’m stuck. If you read the February post, you can see that I was excited about grabbing a partner and finding this automated way of fixing computers. Yeah, of course, too good to be true. The supplier proved to be extremely unreliable with support (and, even worse, sales. When a company takes a week to get back to you on selling you something, you know there’s a problem). And it’s hard to keep a partner when neither of you are doing anything.

We’ve been through every plan in the book to start a business, and what I’m realizing right now is that there is nothing that I am passionate enough to start doing. Each time I’ve come up with a business idea, I’ve forgotten about it, lost excitement, gotten distracted, or been discouraged. Plus, my brain doesn’t help. What I’m excited about tonight, I won’t give a crap about tomorrow morning, let alone next week, or in 5 months and a week.

But what I have been doing this summer is reading. And learning.

I’ve learned a tremendous amount regarding running a business and self-improvement for the business-y type. This kind of stuff excites me, and, while apparently it doesn’t cause me to jump up and start a business, it does make me want to get up and tell people about what I learned!

So that’s why I’m here. To tell you what I’ve learned.

Stay tuned.

I have been running a computer “company” for a few years now. I call myself an entrepreneur, but I haven’t put the time into the company that I clearly would have needed to in order to make it something big. So, what’s changed?

I stumbled upon (no, I didn’t StumbleUpon it) some software that makes fixing computers a very automated task. It checks the system for errors, downloads windows files that it finds are corrupted, and rebuilds the system with the necessary files. One restart and almost any slow PC is fast again.

So after sitting on this new system for a month, I decided to involve my friend from college (Babson College, to be more specific) in the operation. The two of us, after failing to fully launch another business involving two other friends, are extremely excited to get this one off the ground.

The best part is that, since this will be our first taken-seriously business, we’re going to blog about what we’re learning along the way. You get to see it now, and we’ll be excited to see it later, once we’ve learned from so many mistakes.

I can’t promise the frequency of updates, but I can tell you that it will be worthwhile to subscribe to the RSS feed. If we don’t update the blog enough, or we update the blog too much, please let us know by posting a comment.

We would love to have a community feel for the site. Please. If you have learned something from us or want to give us advice or share an experience with the readers of the site, please leave us a comment. We may even feature it in one of our future posts.

Enjoy!
