Zoola Fix: Richard Walker-Smith

Richard Walker-Smith of
Zoola Fix
If you're not yet sure of your business idea, or you just want to test the waters so to speak, and couldn't afford to leave your full-time or gainful employment, starting a business while still employed is an option.  It will be difficult juggling two or more responsibilities at the same time, but it has been done.  That is what Richard Walker-Smith a person who enjoys the nightlife, loves to party, and would like others to experience an authentic nightlife away from home has just done.  Zoola Fix is his latest business venture under the "Zoola" brand.  While I was reading about him and his concept, I was visualising something similar happening here in NZ.  Who knows this might be what you've been looking for.  Go for it then!

Entrepreneur Magazine

Entrepreneur Magazine
A very good reading material that can really guide and inspire you to become an entrepreneur is the Entrepreneur Magazine.  I've been reading this magazine since the 1990s and been visiting it's website too when it became available online.  I started with the international edition when I was still living in the Philippines.  There was always a story, an article, a feature, or a photo that inspired me to become a budding entrepreneur.  I've started a couple of businesses back home then, some did good and heaps not so good.  My readings enabled me to understand why I made it and why I didn't and also inspired me to carry on with the next business project.  The start-up stage is very stressful and challenging.  And getting to know the entrepreneurs who have had the same struggles and emerged triumphant made my journey bearable.  I would strongly recommend this magazine for those who are aspiring to become entrepreneurs. because from within the pages of this magazine are the stories and the people who will inspire you!
