A Good Idea

I doubt I could get away with this though.
You can start your own design shop. You can write a book on programming. You can create a web-based application and make money off it. You can even open your own pet daycare. Is the only thing stopping you this idea that you need a bunch of money first?

There’s a lot of talk of billion dollar acquisitions in the media and in blogs, but the truth is those are the minority of businesses. Profitable small businesses exist in every city, owned by people who love what they do. Some of them will make millions of dollars each year – doing what they love, waking up each morning happy to go to work – regardless of which tech blogger ever notices.

Life is too short not to love what you do, and it’s much, much too short to wait around until someone hands you a billion dollars.
Although if someone wanted to hand me a billion dollars, that'd be cool.
