I think - when you're stuck with a boss you don't like, in a job you detest - it's the dream of being your own boss...

Once you're "in it" - you get to know a lot of other entrepreneurs... It is a different kind of existence. They're (we're) a breed apart...

Thanks for the great info ... and the walk down memory lane...

Best wishes,

P.S. I still save interesting REAL business ideas (that people are doing) when I find them... I should post some more of the ones I find here...

P.P.S. I'm still active in the background... Just successfully got some media coverage for one of the bands I'm managing...

1991. Four years before eBay and Craigslist. 7 before GOOGLE. 3 before Amazon.

Imagine all the wealth created since then.

And all that time, people ATE. Local pizza shops were already well established, as were several restaurants. ACME, our local supermarket was the supermarket leader (and has seen several competitors come and go).

DIET food, was big then, bigger now.

So, absolutely tech has created opportunity, and some of us have taken advantage, but, those with the desire and will, found their way even back in those DARK ages, of before the World Wide Web and the Internet.

Today, NO EXCUSES (not that there ever were), if you are struggling, it is only because of YOU.

PS A guy named Danny Goldberg, had a hit on his hands in'91 as his band changed drummers in 1990 and settled in to their HIT times, maybe Dien will follow his path, after all NIRVANA did OK, eh?
