Confessions
My Name is Nadiyah and I'm a nontrepreneur.
A What? A nontrepreneur.
Entrepreneur's start businesses - whether or not they succeed. Through their business adventures, they meet other entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, customers and enthusiasts. Nontrepreneurs dream about it. Think about it. Jot down ideas and imagine how they'll change the world. But, ultimately...
Do.
Nothing.
A nontrepreneur. One who dreams of starting businesses and has cautiously explored a myriad of business ideas, but has yet to dive in and attempt.
Not Anymore. This time we're doing things a little differently. I'm not starting a business, I'm brining an idea to life. I'm not incorporating and focusing on unimportant details like how quickly and easily it can be monetized. I'm focusing on how my idea will ultimately solve the problem it was originally intended to solve and UNTIL there is something concrete to show for it (i.e. a prototype, a website up and running no matter how glitchy etc) and ONLY that idea. I'm breaking my idea down into necessary pieces and attacking each piece ONE piece at a time.
...come along for the ride as I travel and create.
The Goal: At the end of it all I want just one person to say "thanks Nadiyah for creating this because it has helped me ______".
All aboard??
