"You don't get to be a senior manager in our corporation if you can't manage business at different stages of maturity" – Roger Ackerman

New Entrepreneurial Economy

In 2003 in United States, a staggering 61% of the listed companies were started at home, at the CEO's kitchen table, and 16% were initially capitalized with less than US$1,000. This is an inspiring evidence illustrating how much an entrepreneur can accomplish with an idea whose time has come. Of course, good ideas are not enough to turn a US$1,000 investment into a multi-million dollar enterprise. It takes execution skills – venture management, entrepreneurial creativity, entrepreneurial leadership, financial management, effective marketing – and luck, of course! – to grow a home business to the point where it's ready to take public. Business should be driven by fun, but it is not a game for amateurs! "Ideas are a dime a dozen; only execution skills count," say your venture capital investors.
