2010 and an update!

Wow, so I completely missed any blog post for 2009... who knew?! Time flies when you're having fun... or a baby! I just read my buddy's blog (New Jack Times) and realized I had a blog myself - that I never updated! So here we are, and now I have to find something intelligent to talk about...

How about business? Considering this is "The Biz Addict", it suits the blog, eh? I've come to learn and realize that my family really has an entrepreneurial side to them. My brother, for instance, started his own printing company - Patterson Printing LLC - and he's doing very well with it. I'm helping to consult on some of the business intricacies and graphical/tech side of the house, but he's got one heck of a brain for enterprising his venture.

This leads me to my inquisitive question: Do you think you have an entrepreneurial "brain"? See, I think some people do, but don't realize it. Or they do, but they don't know where to begin. Likewise, there are some people that have no desire to begin a business, and they're content with working to make someone else money. Everyone has their place in life... what's yours?

I met someone about a month ago who has a lot of very good ideas. He just has no idea how to implement them, or where to begin. I am usually very guarded with my experience and business dealings, as I feel it's important to self-disclose only what's necessary in certain situations. I could see that this was a situation where he needed help, so I began to inform him of my past businesses and some of the new ones I've got my hand in. You could see his eyes light up, and the wheels were spinning 100 miles per minute.

That's the type of drive you need, and that's the enthusiasm you need to succeed. If you have ideas, but you don't know how to implement them, all you have to do is ask... or Google it. ;) Trial and error will help you learn and understand more than you know.
