  • inform people about this.. start from this phase and use business cards, ask for feedbacks from customers. ask them if they would use such a service again and ask them to refer it to their friends. always remember this egypt/rome was not built in oneday nor was the internet. however building a profile online can be. before you can stand you must crawl and if you force yourself to stand you will fall, your biggest issue here is lack of knowledge on startups but your drive is very good.

  • convenian would work if you initially focused on a niche and strengthen that rather than making it an all rounders.it may cause confusion, secondly change the name, make it simple depending on the niche or your group your are catering it to, for instance house cleanin will be "HouseMade" Dry cleaners for business people can be "Quick&Clean" something basic.. before you dive into such a concept aforementioned about research.. use social networking tools like facebook or twitter or write a blog.

  • I understand you guys are motivated, However the real truth about entrepreneurship requires alot more than just the wll power but guidance. You found your idea, do your research before you dive into it. What is your Unique selling point? what group of people would require this sort of service? look at your competitors what are they doing right and what their weakness are. its easy to become an entrepreneur but it is harder to become a successful entrepreneur. you need careful planing

  • Very Motivating

  • This is a good video for me to use for my class in entrepreneurship. 

  • What happened to the site??? This was really inspiring with a great diverse duo going after a dream, and now the site is non-existent! Come on guys, bring it back and lets get this going!!!

  • Well, I guess these guys haven't had too much success since their domain expired and they didn't renew it.

  • I feel you. I'm sick of slaving away on somebody else's clock, making THEM richer!

    It should be the other way around.

    I've been working on a plan for the last year(it takes time)

    Nothing like getting online to find out that "everybody" is doing what you are "trying to do".

    It forces you to "adapt", it was the better learning experience than getting my college degree.

    Soon, I'll launch multiple online projects and hit the game like a freight train!

    I can't wait til each launch date!!!!!!!

  • I would like to get to know more about you guys!

  • what leadership program did you go through? wish you guys success..i feel a lot of the same feelings you guys mentioned about wanting to work for myself
