Confessions of a Startup Addict

Filed in archive Bootstrapper Profile on March 11, 2009

Ivan Widjaya over at Noobpreneur had a cute piece Monday. He confesses that he's addicted to starting new businesses.

Ivan looks at the symptoms of his addiction (with an eye toward helping to decide if you share his problem). Then he looks at himself as a case study.

I started dozens of businesses, being successful in some, and failing in some others. Like many personal development gurus said, you should not learn from your success, but from your failures. So I did.

Finally he looks at how to take full advantage of this disorder (if you have it). It's a tongue-in-cheek look at life as an entrepreneur. I enjoyed it.
