The Young Entrepreneurs:

As I have said before countless of times in my posts, the internet has really created lots of opportunities for young people to experiment with their entrepreneurial spirit and take charge of their lives. They are not content with just sitting in the corporate offices doing their jobs. They want to be the boss and not the employee. I read that a young guy age 22 has started a startup internet company and another guy in Russia has similarly started a company which has created a lot of buzz lately.

It amazes me that how these young folks are trying to take charge of their lives so early on. You can also see that they are not the only ones out there with young faces abound in the internet startup business. My philosophy was that to just work for some company and then retire but due to the fact that I have been through two layoffs in less than two years I have come to the conclusion that there is no security anymore in the corporate world.

To be fair, going on your own is a scary prospect especially if you have a family but looking for a job right now is also brutal. You can keep on looking but if you have just a little bit of entrepreneurial spirit, you should go for it and not wait for the right moment since there is no right or wrong time. It is up to you to make it the right time. You may encounter failure and discouragements from lots of people but at the same time lots of encouragement too.
