The Idea People is seeing a trend here in Charlotte with executives and senior level managers being displaced by job layoffs and starting their own Internet businesses! So far this year, we have had five (5) displaced executives begin separate Internet businesses with our assistance.
These are very smart, motivated, experienced business executives who have, through no fault of their own, become instant entrepreneurs. And what an exciting time this is to start a business. The Internet and web site development business is not a “foreign” thing to entrepreneurs. Not like it was 5-10 years ago. Smart business people have embraced the Internet and web technologies in a personal manner. Think smart phones, iPads, Blackberries, laptops, etc.
It is much easier and affordable to put your ideas and dreams in motion with an Internet-based business today than it was just 5 years ago. The web design and development market has been “shaken and cleared”
here in Charlotte as well. It seemed that everybody was a web designer just 2 years ago! But smart business people and entrepreneurs know that their next door neighbor’s kid won’t cut it for designing and developing a real Internet-based business.
And the speed to market is good right now. An entrepreneur can get their idea from paper to fully-functional Internet business in under 5 months. That’s fast. So much can be done behind-the-scenes during those start-up months in preparation for a launch.
This is a good time in our economy and business cycle to put your ideas into reality. Service-based business ideas are good for Internet start-ups. Training, business process automations, cloud-based transactions, social media platforms, and business resource sites are all good Internet business models.
It’s a great time to be the Accidental Charlotte Entrepreneur!
