Market Research
As many of you know, I’ve been a “frustrated entrepreneur” for many years now. At the beginning of 2009 I kind of drew a line in the sand and decided that this was the year to start moving forward on a couple ideas. It’s hard to believe almost half the year has gone already.
Becoming an entrepreneur has many descriptors, but there certainly is an almost zen-like aspect to it. It can be very hard to know when it’s the right time, what to do first, who to partner with, how to move ahead, etc. etc. Then again, it really isn’t – when the passion is there, the stars align and many entrepreneurs say they “just knew” it was time. Personally, I’m finding myself somewhere in the middle.
I’ve been seriously evaluating three entrepreneurial options for about six months now. All of them have various plusses and minuses, and frankly I’m passionate about all of them. For a variety of reasons, the stars seem to be aligning around one option in particular and who am I to argue with the universe?
I know one aspect of entrepreneurship is jumping in head first without knowing all the answers, but just like the coaching I would give to most entrepreneurs walking through my door, I want to gather some simple market feedback before getting started. I’ve created a short survey whose answers I’m hoping will help me make that final decision of whether to move ahead or not, and I would really appreciate your feedback. In particular, I’m looking for business professionals who:
- Use one or more social networks, once a week or more
- Own a smartphone
- Have two minutes of free time to answer a handful of questions
So, what do you say? Help a fellow business professional / aspiring entrepreneur out and click over to my survey on Business Professionals & Social Networking.
