Free Business Ideas

My intent with this Blog is to use it as an actual tool, to communicate ideas that I have had over the years but have not had the time nor energy to implement. Many of you may be wondering why would I do such a thing. I would encourage you to look at a trend that has emerged over the past 15 years called Open Source. This was a movement in the computer industry to help facilitate the creation of software. Basically someone would begin to write a program and then make the source code available to others. The other people would improve upon the code and return it to the author. The author would then re-package the improvements and release it back to the public for general use. This has become so popular, as it allows for the addition of value added ideas building upon the original in a well manage process, that it has been applied to an actual operating system called Linux.

Maybe someday this blog could be seen as the genesis to emerging business ideas. Maybe these ideas could be piloted by venture capitalists, or maybe just used as test cases for business school professors. In any case I did not want the ideas to go to waste so I thought I would set them free, as well as me free from thinking about them. (However, what I have discovered is that as I free myself from the last idea new ones seem to creep into my head.) I think I'll invite all you readers to the party when I post my 100th idea. ;-)

Ok, some are more far fetched and fantasy based than others, but you need to start somewhere.
