Greetings!
Let me be the first to officially welcome
you to Idea Cafe's Gen X Startup site! We hope that this new
and exciting area of Idea Café is helpful to you, as
well as fun and interesting!
Why Gen X Startup?
While originally being written off by most
as being careless slackers, members of Generation X are quietly
becoming a big force in the business world, particularly in
the area of entrepreneurism. Their determination and self-reliance
has made thousands of Gen X-ers opt to start their own business
rather than join corporate America. Recent estimates say that
nearly a third of the people who launched new businesses last
year were under the age of thirty, and if it's a technically
related field, then numbers are much higher than that. And
if they haven't done it yet, they're thinking about it: 60%
of Gen Xers claim to have entrepreneurial dreams. The ideas
and businesses that they are creating are shaking up their
respective industries. For a bunch of slackers, we're doing
pretty well!
How do I know? Because I am a proud member
of the Generation X Entrepreneur phenomenon! I have personally
been involved in business creation. I have also heard stories
of others my age and I want to share them with you.
I also want to educate tomorrow's entrepreneurs
so that they can also make their dreams come true. Consider
Idea Café's Gen X Entrepreneur site your inside source
to what's going on with young people and business.
You may be surprised at what you see. You
may be inspired by what you learn. But what ever you do, make
sure your voice is heard!
This is the web site that will help fuel
the movement of young entrepreneurs. Be sure to visit the
site often and contribute!
