The First Baby Step

One thing that will help me get a taste of entrepreneurship is consulting.

I've rented out my apartment today. Don't know where I'll be staying a week from now.

Sounds exciting!

I have a project lined up at Rhode Island with my current employer; but will I be going there? Or will I be taking up an assignment with one of the consulting companies - I really don't know.
It's pretty exciting, since I don't know where I will be, and who I will be working for next week onwards.

Another thought- getting rid of the apartment was quite an ordeal - I think I have learnt a little about negotiating and making sure both parties are happy with the deal (Think win/win Mr.Covey?)

So what's the plan

So world, the entrepreneur bug has caught me.
I am an IT guy - yes go ahead and label me. But I am keen on starting a website that will change the way the US shops!
So - yes - I want to start the next big dotcom - and i have (what I call) a great idea up my sleeve
Heres my plan:
1. Work like a regular guy for a year and make a biz plan at the same time. Also prep the GMAT and MBA apps.
2. Get people to pledge $$ for my great idea
3. Do my mba
4. Use my new network to startup
