The Up and Coming Business Count

As I page through my Entrepreneur magazine I’m reminded of how many new businesses are starting up all the time. I’m also reminded of a point in Niche Down that notes that we are at one of the lowest levels of entrepreneurship in American history.

What a contrast to what I had thought! Prior to reading these resources, I was under the impression that everybody and their brother was trying to start a company. I thought it wouldn’t work because so many new businesses were starting up and how could they all have new ideas, but that’s just not the case! There are so many people and so many great ideas, that new businesses are still part of the lifeblood of America

More technology exists today than ever before and that should leave so much space for new ideas.

Maybe you’re scared to start your own business, maybe you think it’s an all or nothing sort of deal but as Jason Feifer of Entrepreneur Magazine notes: “An entrepreneur doesn’t have to own a company; it’s simply someone who lives entrepreneurship as an ethos and a mindset.” People who are creating value and always thinking outside the box are entrepreneurs, they reach beyond limits and think about how they can do better.

The question is: What can you do?
