Blog Review: www.startbreakingfree.com

Very cool blog that is motivating on starting new businesses.  Many links to resources.  Overall, a straight to the point blog and well written.  Here is an excerpt from a recent post on 10 ways to come up with a business idea:

1. Look at what frustrates you. Whats annoying. Whats hard to use. Imagine you go to a restaurant to meet a friend. But you get lost on the way, the waitress forgets your order, and the table you are sitting at wobbles. Three annoyances, and three businesses exist to solve those problems. They are all around you!
2. Lots of things probably frustrate you, but pay attention to what frustrates other people. Where you can solve someones pain, there is great money to be made. Keep a journal and write down any time you see someone get upset for a week.
3. Type into Google “entrepreneurs [your city name]” and join at least one club in your city. Most large cities have some sort of entrepreneurship organization that meets regularly (could also be indirectly related such as networking, marketing, etc). Some cost a little money, some are free. Whatever, join them. Getting around like-minded people is priceless, and will get your brain thinking in totally new ways. If you can’t find any club, join Toastmasters. In any given week, I attend at least three such clubs.
4. Go talk to the retired executives at SCORE (it’s free) and stay in touch with them by email.
