Becoming an Entrepreneur
Where is my partner?
Brian’s latest venture is namesake.com which promotes itself as the next micro-social network for the professional entertainment industry. His outlook is that with our social lives are permeating through sites like Facebook and there is a need and a want for people to keep their business image separate. That, as I understand it, is the motivation and mission of namesake.com.
A few of the big lessons left by Norgard for the students was the feeling of “go for it” and “don’t be afraid to share your ideas.” Discussing your seemingly great idea might lead to more product improvement or, better yet, saving yourself and your partners tens of thousands of dollars. I think a few of us have an idea or a project in mind and are afraid of disclosing for fear that someone else will just snap it up. Although that fear is not unfounded I think the point Norgard is making is that the benefits far outweigh the risk in this example.
Let’s face it, the man has success. However, the most envious trait that this man has is really the relationship he has with his business partner(s). As Brian pointed out, finding someone you can trust is not easy. When you do find someone like this, it seems, you can accomplish amazing things. WHERE is my partner?
Appreciate the kind words. Thank you.
I’d have to agree with Christopher. Ideas are a dime a dozen. It’s (mostly) all in the execution. (Although I suppose a perfectly executed bad idea is bad.)
I’m one of the fortuante to know Brian and be doing business with him as well on Namesake. And this review is 110% accurate. He is undoubtedly a genius and for me even more important, a genuinely good guy.
His knowledge base and passion make him a force to be reckoned with a voice to be heard.
Where’s your partner? You got it discuss the idea Christopher! Anyway, I do agree with you. We had great speakers so far, but Brian is not only an expert, he’s a motivator. Hey Christopher, do you think that Social Media could lead the economic recovery? check my blog Enlacalle.
