As an entrepreneur, you must be a jack of all trades and must be ready to do just about anything. If you feel certain things are not worthy of your time or are too beneath you, then starting businesses is not for you. It really is that simple. Here’s a short story that highlights what you, as an entrepreneur, should be ready to do.
This past week my two partners and I at VendorCity decided to change our plans and launch nationally instead of locally (we were going to start in just Boston and New Hampshire). For the most part, technically, this was not a huge hurdle because we had “sorta” planned for it but we had not spent any significant effort thinking the issue through. We knew eventually we would have to geocode this (put client’s in a region based upon their zipcode) but felt that we could do it quicker for now by manually by selecting cities in each state as the nearest “metro” area.
