Wow! Thanks for the insurmountable advice lol and links. Much appreciated! Seriously. I have not stopped reading/researching since!

Thanks for the input! I appreciate it! I believe the basis for my first four ideas in the past was to make a profit. The reason why I never followed through with them is because I couldn't persistently work on something I wasn't passionate about. I want to make an impact. Thats why I am currently working on standUP.

I have watched some talks by him online, I'll check out his book. Thanks!

Thanks for the input! I believe the first four ideas derived just from the fact that I wanted to start a business for profit and if I acted upon them at the time they would have been lucrative but Im searching for something that I would be more passionate about. Potential profit in the future doesn't necessarily drive me. I want to make an impact.

Thats why Im currently working on standUP. It hasn't technically been done with the business model and structure I have plus all the features my competitors dont have. There is: http://demandprogress.org/ But they focus solely on issues of civil liberties, civil rights, and government reform.

But I appreciate the advice! Im working on a landing page right now with the option to sign up on waiting list or help fund! Thanks!

Really appreciate your few cents. I am new to this industry but really believe my idea can succeed.

I am looking for someone experienced in this field and can help me hash out my concept some more!

Re:Need a Tech Co-Founder on Tuesday August 02, 2011 @07:04PM (#2839063)
Im a big thinker, self-confident, self-motivated, very organized and I have good leadership skills but no experience in this industry. I am willing to take risks.

This idea was just planted in my head about 6 months ago and I have been studying how to start and systemize the whole concept and if it's even worth putting my time & effort into it. I understand that I lack the knowledge of coding but I believe so much in the idea and its success that I cant not act upon it! I will do what it takes to get my partner/resources in helping me achieve my vision.

I have not raised any money yet but I do know of many funding companies to submit my proposal to. As soon as I find my tech co-founder then he could help me hash out the idea some more, create my promo video & beta site and start attracting attention!

Yes, I know I have what it takes to manage this company, finding funding sources, keeping the vision, and strategically set goals!

So if anyone is down to get more details and help me perfect this concept, please contact me! I will be waiting patiently by.

& Thank you so much for your very informative & honest response! I really appreciate it.
