Young Entrepreneurs in the Blogosphere

February 05, 2008 | Posted by: brenden

Warren BuffettYoungEntrepreneur.com is a blog devoted to doing exactly what the title suggests- promoting youth involvement in entrepreneurship. They do this in a variety of ways but the most interesting and resourceful post category falls under the heading Entrepreneur University. Here, they blog about lessons learned from famous and successful entrepreneurs; topics include networking tips, internet sales, securing repeat clientele, etc.

However, my favorite article was a totally separate blog post written from and about Warren Buffet. The following is an excerpt:

How did this once shy boy who took a Dale Carnegie course on public speaking rise to become the stock market guru that he is today?

“I always knew I was going to be rich. I don’t think I ever doubted it for a minute.

The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective. I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over. I like to go for cinches. I like to shoot fish in a barrel. But I like to do it after the water has run out.

You do things when the opportunities come along. I’ve had periods in my life when I’ve had a bundle of ideas come along, and I’ve had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I’ll do something. If not, I won’t do a damn thing [to read the rest of the blog post]

It’s better to hang out with people better than you, … Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.

Are you hanging around the right people to get your business to the next level?

They use great contacts, interesting stories and well-crafted themes to create a website that is both interesting and informative. Check it out at www.youngentrepreneur.com.
