Conversation with Dan Marques

Last week I had the chance to sit down with Dan Marques and get a better understanding of his approach to blogging and entrepreneurship. After observing many entrepreneurs, it seems to me there is a spectrum from those who wish to do whatever they can to make the most cash and those who want to truly innovate and offer something completely new to society. I asked Dan where he felt his own motivations are. He commented on how his goal is not to come up with money making schemes nor try to invent the cure for cancer but rather focus on developing innovative systems for his entrepreneurial ventures. Undergoing the development of multiple businesses through Invenio, Dan continues to shape systems that will allow him to simply press start and have all the necessary pieces in place.

I agree that system development allows entrepreneurs to maximize both their time and success rate. Currently, my biggest hindrance is probably researching potential business ideas. Hopefully I can develop some sort of system of research that can allow me to understand a market without having to spend weeks researching. Of course, this type of approach would be used for smaller scale ventures where extensive and scientific research would not be required.

I thought Dan's quote was pretty good!
