I recently met John Murch at a game of Cashflow 101 this past Tuesday. If you didn’t know, I host a meetup.com group called Rich Dad’s NYC Cashflow 101 where we play a board game that increases our financial IQ in but so many words. If you want to know more about it you can always go to Rich Dad’s NYC Cashflow 101 John mentioned he wrote a blog and I went on it today and seen a few cool post that he had written recently.
One post on John’s blog that stuck out was a blog post about Business Start-ups. If you want to see it you can check it out here at John Murch’s Blog In a nut shell I am writing this all to let you see what my comment was to John’s blog. So here it is:

I am inspired to take a crack at one or two startups “off the brain” right now.
My top 3 startups would be
1. Willpowa (biased cause I am starting this now) a company designed for helping poor artist increase there passive income high enough to live the lifestyle of their choice off of there music and intellectual properties.
–ok that was my big swing. . . now this is where I take two more attempts to not strike out. . .close my eyes. . . uh

2. FreeWhales uh yeah this company is a start up that allows young kids to create fun raisers that will raise money for a non for profit cause that is larger than life. The company teaches the youth entreprenuer skills as well as holds after school programs that enable the youth to become confident in finance, fund raising and event planning as well as business. FreeWhales- for the small mind with a whale of an idea
–wow that great foul ball. Looks like I am swinging for the fence on this next one. Lets see if I get on base.

3. Kickstart- Kick start is a company that teaches low income families self defense. We all know that violence and abuse can cause homes and families to be ruined especially in poor households where there can be an increase in pressure to survive. Kick start is a company that uses karate and self defense classes to bring confidence to young teens and single mothers. The company provides classes for extremely low prices because it has a built in network marketing model that allows kickstarters to teach the course materials online through a web cam and actually interact with other kickstarters in other countries and virtually fight. Kickstart- The online virtual self defense course.

Hmm I don’t know about that one. But yep. Number one rule never doubt your own ideas. Thanks for the inspiration John. See you at Cashflow 101 (www.meetup.com/nyccashflow) again sometime

So yep that was my comment. What idea would you have for your startup business? I would like to know.
