Imagine the results if everyone with an idea for a new business today simply stopped waiting for enough money to get going or interest from an outside investor and just started to build their business with the resources available.

According to bootstrapper Greg Gianforte that's what most entrepreneurs do anyway. Why not you?

Imagine if this revolution happened not just in U.S. where this blog originates but around the world with small entrepreneurs taking hold of a dream and making that a reality.

Those who are successful could help others in more impoverished places throughout the world or in their own countries through micro-financing creating the necessary seed money to raise their neighbors out of poverty and stimulate opportunities for sustainability.

Or like entrepreneur and bootstrapper Shelli Styles they could create opportunities for others through their own businesses startup.

I'm hoping in 2008, that BootStrapMe.com can be a little part of that revolution. This year I'm encouraging would be entrepreneurs to bootstrap their vision and make it a reality.

Since its launch in 2006, this blog has contained resources for starting a business with little or no money. This year I am adding a series on startup ideas for bootstrap ventures for those who might need a bit of added encouragement and a blueprint from which to get started.

I'm also hoping to launch added opportunities for entrepreneurs to communicate and share your progress. New entrepreneurs and established entrepreneurs are welcome.

Consider joining both our Yahoo! group and MyBlogLog community. New groups on MySpace and Yuwie coming soon. We're still looking for guest posts and interviews with bootstrappers for this blog too so if you're interested get in touch.

Join the revolution today!
