WriteMinds in Startup Competition!

So my buddy Will (I call him Bill; for some reason when he entered adulthood he felt Will was better) has posted several times on our project, WriteMinds.  It is basically a new cloud application that makes the process of writing on your computer better.  We launch beta in several weeks, then will seek to improve the product and add social networking, tracking and metrics, self-publishing, and other functionality to turn it into the premiere writing application on the web.  Cool stuff.

Anyway, we are entered into the MassChallenge competition to win recognition, money, and incubation.  We can use your help!  Go to this link to vote for WriteMinds LLC and read more about the application and what exactly it is that we are trying to accomplish.  Hope you like it!

What Type of Entrepreneur Are You?

In my quest to become an entrepreneur and develop "the next big thing," I am constantly processing information in order to become either a better businessman/leader or uncover new ideas/opportunities.

An article featured in Inc. magazine on types of entrepreneurs is a helpful tool in this journey.  Most people would not realize that there are (according to the author) five types of entrepreneur.  This self-assessment is a useful tool in helping you strategize and plan how you should run your organization, grow your idea, and best utilize your strengths.
