Why Saturday is Just Another Day for an Entrepreneur

A quick note – Twiistup.com is live. We are still working on a making the site look good, but we wanted to go ahead and get the information out to the public. It should be a fun and valuable experience for anybody interested in Technology and Innovation in Southern California; so check it out.

Now for my rant -- I mean my very informative post …

Let them look forward to the weekend. Who is them you ask? They, the rest of them, Joe American; you know, normal people. I’ll be content with today. You see, for me, Saturday (and for that matter Sunday) is just another day of the week.

While most people go into work from 9-5 (or 9-6, whatever) Monday – Friday, an entrepreneur can’t really afford to take off a day, just because it happens to be a Saturday. I’ve talked a lot about creating positive momentum for your idea, and nothing stalls momentum quite like the weekend. Now, I’m not talking about working every hour of every day of your life, its fine to take days off and do other things. But, why should everybody else control what day that will be. Maybe it’s the non-conformist in me, but if people are going one way, I kind of like to go the other.

When you start a new business, you may often find yourself taking on a larger/more established company. Sure, they may have 100 times more money than you and a thousand more employees, but they also have to deal with the mess that it all creates. Your edge is that you’re always innovating, always thinking of new and better ways to serve the customer. no matter what day it is.
