Start Ups Will Fund Your College Education for FREE

Start Ups Will Fund Your College Education for FREE

How can anyone pass this up? Here's a company who has connections with start up businesses that want to pay you to go to college!  This is an awesome opportunity and they can't get it off the ground and successful if people don't come in and ask for the FREE assistance.

The founders of tech start-ups behind this revolutionary idea say they have already had success with their models, but they say there needs to be more momentum if their idea is to succeed.

"The 99% should be protesting college campuses," says Sebastian Thrun, a Stanford University artificial intelligence professor, who recently co-founded Udacity, a technology start-up dedicated to providing higher education at a very low cost.

With the average cost to attend a private university on the rise, more and more people, who have the intellectual capacity to excel at that level, are unable to afford it.

Thrun is helping to lead a new surge of Silicon Valley start-ups with the quest to "democratize education" or make advanced education available to all people. 

Will you take advantage of a free education and work in the tech field? It may also be time to get that resume updated for your new or advanced degree objectives. Get resume help here.

The First Step to a Successful Business: Writing a Business Plan Says Amazon Founder

 The First Step to a Successful Business: Writing a Business Plan

The advice below comes from the Founder and CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos.

Jeff Bezos is an American entrepreneur who played a key role in the growth of e-commerce as the founder and chief executive officer of Amazon.com, Inc., an online merchant of books and later of a wide variety of products. Under his guidance, Amazon.com became the largest retailer on the World Wide Web and the model for Internet sales. -Wikipedia

"So, you want to start a company...Well, the first thing you do is you should write a business plan, and so I did that. I wrote about a 30-page business plan. I wrote a first draft.."

"You know the business plan won't survive its first encounters with reality. It will always be different. The reality will never be the plan, but the discipline of writing the plan forces you to think through some of the issues and to get sort of mentally comfortable in the space. Then you start to understand, if you push on this knob this will move over here and so on. So, that's the first step." -Source

Now is the time to get your business plan started. If you don't have a business plan, you will never really know exactly what you want to do; where you want to go and ultimately what your goals are for the future. A business plan can open many doors for you as well as make your business goals visually clear.

We are in the business of helping businesses start off right and get them going in the right direction.

IWRITE does business plans at an affordable rate. If you need help getting your thoughts and ideas on paper and need our expertise in writing a business plan for you, contact us now for a free consultation HERE.

Can You Launch a Start Up While on Your Day Job?

Can You Launch a Start Up While on Your Day Job?

The answer to this question is: Yes, of course you can! Now, the way in which you juggle your day job and your start up can create some challenges but it is very possible. While you may have the passion for your new business, you will need to use your self discipline and strategic skills to make it work. 

It's obvious you need to stay on your day job, so here is some advice from four entrepreneurs who were able to do it and stay in good standing with their jobs. First, let's hear from Chris Altchek of PolicyMic who says its possible. In fact, he kept his day job with Goldman Sachs before launching his business:

"Many investors will want to speak with former employers as a reference. If you've let your side project get in the way of your full-time commitments, you may be hurting your chances more than you think."

Let's hear from other entrepreneurs who have some good advice on getting your dream start up off the ground and keeping in good graces with your current employer.


Sacrifice

Whether it's your job, or whether it's your family, it is very difficult. It's all about long hours. There's the whole thing of finding more time in existing busy lives. Those who manage to do that are really successful."— Eric Lagier, founder of Memolane, a tech company that builds web activity timelines

Work through Lunch Break

"Spending time on Wikifashion allowed me to relax from my work at the treasury. I'd take my laptop into work with me and spend my lunch breaks at the local cafe working on pages, emailing brands and helping out new contributors." —Madeline Veenstra, co-founder of Wikifashion, an online hub where users and brands can share fashion industry information

TIP: Don't forget to begin with a professional business plan for your start up.

Invest

"This is something that comes from my own mistakes: don't leverage your income from your day job to do unnatural things early on in the life of your part-time startup ... Constrain yourself financially so you can focus on getting as much done without wasting your valuable resources. Save that money instead so you can put it to good use when you actually are financially constrained." —Willis Jackson, founder of ShownHome, a developer of software for real estate professionals

Respect current employer

"Don't slack at your day job because you're pursuing another passion. Your current employer, and what he or she thinks of you, matters. Many successful entrepreneurs go to their ex-bosses for seed capital. Many investors will want to speak with former employers as a reference. If you've let your side project get in the way of your full-time commitments, you may be hurting your chances more than you think." — Chris Altchek, co-founder of PolicyMic, an online political news source aimed at user engagement
