When I was first business plan for my social networking platform which led to my first sojourn into the world of venture capitalists, I came across a certain website that talked extensively about entrepreneurs who were just starting out and finding their feet in the startup world. I came across Young Entrepreneur. Not only does it provide useful tips for “freshies” (as I like to call them) on a daily basis, it carries a series of interviews with successful entrepreneurs, who constantly share their inspiration, their journey and speak quantitatively about the benefits of being a successful entrepreneur.
The website had a blog and a forum where one can seek help, get advice and so forth from other entrepreneurs around the world. I took advantage of the forum when I needed advice on how to approach VCs and a lot of people had their various ideas and were vastly helpful.
For every young entrepreneur, information is important! You must always be receptive to information and not just any information, good information. My favorite part of the website personally is the university. I have read some amazing articles on there that have changed my perspective on so many things from how to choose a partner to what a business plan needs to have. This is why I have them listed in my blog roll as a site to visit. I encourage you all to bookmark the blog at Young Entrepreneur, visit often, become a member of the community there, because the things you will learn and the people you will meet will most likely turn out to be invaluable.
