Your page titled Entrepreneurial Services references dreams and ideas as being - this is my poetic interpretation of the quite beautiful thoughts expressed here - the only prerequisites for potential clients of the practice in question as you describe it, that is, the Entrepreneurial Services Practice at your firm. It was a bit of an experience for me to see that in writing, because I for one thing have dreams and ideas - this is what brought me to your web site - and, for another, have only those - it could even be argued that this is categorically true - for resources, as things stand. My dream, in every sense of the word, is to create and operate a company, and, really, a large company, or, at any rate, a very real company. It is a dream, for one thing, in the sense that it is nothing but a dream, in literally every sense that could be applied to those words, and then because it has been my dream for a long time, and for a long time I have been saying, whenever I felt like saying what my dream is, that that is my dream, and also I have worked on that dream persistently for a long time. I have nothing in particular to show for all that work, certainly in material terms, or in business terms, unless I were permitted to argue either case in only the most hypothetical terms, but it now occurs to me to say, in this respect, I am not actually discouraged. At any rate I was also going to tell you a bit about the nature of this work I've been doing. A lot of the time and energy I've put into this has been applied, really, to just sitting and thinking about ... my product ... lying in bed and thinking about it, cleaning the house and doing the dishes and cooking meals and thinking about it, reading books and web sites and thinking about it, working in the garden and thinking about it, driving around town on errands and thinking about it, going on Holiday and thinking about it and sometimes talking about it, going to parties and thinking about it. I have now already mentioned reading. I also have devoted a lot of time and attention to reading, and, really, I'm only interested in things that are somehow theoretical. I don't mean I'm a dry minded person. I would say maybe the opposite, that I'm a little bit wild. But, theory is found all over the place, and that's what I look for. So, finance and management tend to be very interesting, not that I'm an expert, what small part of the classics I can manage or put my hands on (or put my hands on and manage), cosmology, I and I'll use that word to describe both a very general interest in things, and maybe something of a spiritual perspective, keeping in mind that theory itself is a spiritual discipline - isn't it part of the pantheon of disciplines of Socrates, and didn't Socrates teach a spiritual practice? - but, when I say something is spiritual, I am also thinking of things like mathematics, logic more generally, and psychoanalysis, or, people might prefer if I just say analysis. And then, which I've just mentioned, again, mathematics is something I find very interesting, and I've made efforts to read it, and to read the most difficult things I could find in it, not, again, that I'm especially well read in it, or understand more than some of what I'm reading. The news is extremely interesting, and I read all of it, and that includes news about, say, celebrities, and, say, fashion. I come from an art background. Obviously aesthetics is part of the pantheon, but this reminds me of another god I thought I should mention, criticism ... which in turn is related to something ... what was it ... oh, the more modern thing, linguistics (and thus to computing).
But, ultimately, the benefit I seek is to improve my understanding of theory as a discipline. This is a very exciting thing to work on, so I don't want you to feel sorry for me. And then, in addition to my thinking and reading, and the other thing, the discipline of just staying half way alive out here, I have done considerable amounts of writing, only very sporadically published, mostly all a kind of rehearsal, I would say ... much prose, some poetry, and a fair amount of code.
Now I can turn from the question of my dream to that of my ideas (and return to the dream a bit later). And here I first need to say, I am using the word ideas in the plural very deliberately. But there is a theme. I want to deploy products that help people maximize their lives. I want my company to be always on the lookout for ways in which to do that, although, the list of ways is already in its way very extensive, and, perhaps more to the point, in fact fairly well defined. But, since the goal is to create a company, there's a process for doing that, and this process seems probably actually to require focus as a starting place. It does seem to me the logical place to start is with tech innovation.
Well, my theoretical work - this is my story - has revealed to me - this is what I say - certain missing operating system components. That's what I'm calling these things.
I was going to launch into a more detailed theoretical description of these missing components, but it has suddenly occurred to me that that is an extraneous topic at this point. I could perhaps very briefly elaborate on what I mean by "missing components in the operating system," but, I mean, if operating systems are missing key components, and if I am able to correct those deficiencies, it ought to be the basis for a business, one would think. What I'm deficient in is a practical understanding of how to parlay my awareness of those deficiencies, and of other possibilities, into a business. I do understand, I think, how that is done, on a theoretical level, and the very first thing that emerges from that is that I am not going to do this all on my own, by any means. And from there we arrive at the idea that the key might be formulating the business in a kind of virtual reality environment which might, in a sense, be called the practice of Law.
So, I could also elaborate on my thoughts about how the business ought to be structured, or some such thing, but I'm pretty sure what I ought to do is rather to put this in your hands - if you'll accept the project - and only elaborate when you ask me to.
I found your web site, and this particular page on it, by way of a somewhat protracted and challenging search which began, in a sense, in fact one year ago, with someone telling me I need to write a business plan and I need to talk to a lawyer about it, and culminates, for the moment, with me sitting in my office the other day rather disconsolate, thinking about my dream, and my ideas, particularly those having to do with the operating system, and how my efforts - and I have made some - have essentially born no fruit - except that of experience. I was at an impasse and I was thinking "what on Earth can I do?" As sometimes happens when I'm in a mood like this, which also sometimes happens, in rather desultory fashion I thought maybe a Google search. I thought "what to search on?" and came up with "services for entrepreneurs" - I was trying to think of other terms I had used in these searches before, but I just couldn't - and this sounded a bit hokey to me, and maybe a bit improbable, but, what could I do? Your link was most of the way down the page, and before I got to it I scanned the first several links, which seemed friendly enough and very interesting, but just baffling, too. And then your link was so oddly straight forward. That was different. So, I clicked through.
