Wow, I cant believe that its only been 5 weeks since Mind Petals launched. The amount of positive feedback, recognition, and awesome bloggers that we have attained in this short amount of time portends much success to come as we continue to grow as a network, community, portal, or whatever term that youd like to describe Mind Petals — doesnt matter.
I wakeup everyday looking forward to meeting more young entrepreneurs. Im like a little kid stretching out my hand for candy. Meeting fellow entrepreneurs is my candy, my joy. As the days go by and we continue to share our knowledge, help others in need, and work on our businesses, our position as young entrepreneurs continues to get stronger and stronger as we gain momentum throughout the business world.
Sure, many of us havent built multi-million dollar businesses or have clients that number in the thousands just yet. But that doesnt really matter. What matters is that we are trying to make things happen and we are at it everyday no matter what obstacle come our way and let me tell you, there have been many obstacles for us young entrepreneurs.
Many of us run our own venture development firms, hosting companies, ecommerce stores, have created hosted applications, and consulting firms. We are not only talking about entrepreneurship, but are really doing it as real young entrepreneurs.
Apart from continuing to help entrepreneurs around the world through our influential blogs, we have been taking full advantage of the Mind Petals network to meet fellow entrepreneurs who are on doing similar things as we are.
We are taking it a step further — beyond the content — and really reaching out to other entrepreneurs who want to learn more about something; who want to brainstorm; and who want to seek partnerships to build something new — these are the things we love doing!
Adding a new member to the network is a very powerful thing for us because all of that members knowledge, experience, connections, and insights are openly shared throughout the network and ultimately is shared throughout the networks entire readership.
So if youre wondering why we dont have 100 blogs in the network, its because we dont just let any entrepreneur blogger in only the most serious, dedicated, hungry, knowledgeable, and ambitious make it that far.
We want Mind Petals to be more than a network; more than just a bunch of blogs; more than a community; and more than great young entrepreneurs we want Mind Petals to become an idea; a way of life that symbolizes young entrepreneurs making things happen with their lives no matter how hard it becomes; a symbol that can not be destroyed even if our servers are wiped out and our members leave therein lies the true definition of Mind Petals.
Congrats on all the success thus far – it’s going to be fun to see where this whole thing goes…oh and I like the fact that you are keeping it “exclusive”. There’s only so many blogs I can read at a time. I had to go into my feed reader today and delete some of the new YE blogs that I had subscribed to because I was having a tough time keeping up!
Thanks, Adam! Yes, the party must remain “exclusive” — wouldn’t have it any other way. Keep up the great bloggin’!
Just stumbled upon this blog. Very happy to see another nest of people targeting young minds and helping to diffuse the ‘you need an MBA and VC funding to really make a difference’ notion.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Daniel. I’m glad that your found our network. Yes, we are working hard to diffuse the silly notion that one must be formally “educated” at school in order to make it as an entrepreneur — Psst! Thanks for the support!
