Some of you (though probably not most of you) should quit your job search and start a business. It’s what I did, and I can’t imagine having done anything else. That’s why I’ve spent hundreds of hours talking with and helping aspiring entrepreneurs. Yesterday I came across a Quora answer by Noah Kagan that I wish they had all read before I talked to them. It explains why most people who hold off on pursuing their dream of starting a business are doing so for the wrong reasons. There’s a movement called The Lean Startup that preaches a similar philosophy–starting a company doesn’t need to be expensive and you don’t even need a brilliant idea. Lean Startup Machine is a New York, NY based company that is spreading the philosophy not only to new entrepreneurs but also to people working in more corporate positions.
Lean Startup Machine offers “intensive three-day workshops” that teach “entrepreneurs and innovators how to build disruptive products.” Right now they’re in the middle of a world tour that is hitting nearly 20 major cities. These events are for anyone who is interested, and the cost is pretty reasonable ($150-$300). While there’s certainly a business there, I find Lean Startup Machine’s Enterprise offerings far more interesting. They want companies to adopt “a problem-centric approach to business ideation,” and I’ll bet they can make a lot of money teaching corporate employees how to do it. Here are some of the successes that they’ve already had. If I’ve already convinced you to quit your job search, maybe you should attend a workshop. If I haven’t, then you’ll be interested to know that that Lean Startup Machine is hiring. Their Careers page shows that they’re looking for a Workshop Coordinator/Business Development, a Sales and Sponsorship Hacker, and a Writer. There seems to be a lot of flexibility with these positions, so maybe you can take one and start a business at the same time.
