It seems we`re still leading the way for the younger generations.

I have started to see articles and posts about Gen Xers but not really understood which group the term refers to. Now I know, because the subject of a Harvard Business Review Ideacast is how Gen Xers (the 40 year olds it tells me) are all thinking of starting their own businesses.  They`re facing the same issues with corporations that boomers do/did.

Seems to me this means there is, and will continue to be, a massive market amongst the small business owners.

That`s obviously why we have Start up Nation

Smart move guys

There is a massive move to small, even micro-business. Glenn Reynolds, of
Instapundit fame, wrote a book on the
subject: An Army of Davids. (I wanted to link to it, but this posting software
puts line feeds into long links, making it not work)

I haven`t read the book yet (it`s in my pile). But I suspect it points out the
advantage people are finding to taking control of their lives, and the change
back to a more "cottage industry" style of living.

The problem is what to do with all those folks who just want a job, don`t want to worry about the future, and are looking for cradle-to-grave security. :-)

Not to worry Craig, they WILL get their due -- and it ain`t gonna` be pretty.

Kinda` funny what a little dose of starvation and deprivation will do to that kind of thinking....

I consider myself a "Boomer" leading the way. I am in the midst of starting a new non-profit organization that will establish health care clinics delivering preventative, routine medical, dental, mental care with vision and hearing screenings at a very affordable cost. I have a business plan, and a solid business concept looking for funding. The cost of the health care is meant to help uninsured and under insured persons have access to routine check ups, teeth cleaning, therapy. This is to prevent emergency cases and thereby save money to hospitals (for unpaid medical bills), insured persons (for cost sharing to cover the cost of unpaid medical bills) and tax payers (that reason is self-explanatory).

Would anyone in this forum know of a funding source willing to consider helping this organization get off the ground?
