“Sanitary napkin” is the first thing that comes to my mind when I see the logo for this event, together with the words “women” and “napkin” — not pleasant.

I tried to get my wife to submit an idea; but, alas, no such luck.

I beg to differ. I started my small business w/$1500 and made that back w/in a couple of months. nd I had sooooo many people tell me, “oh I had that idea years ago”. Well, why didn’t you do anything with it then? I have no patience for those people. Like many people here have said, ideas and talk about them are cheap. Sctually getting up off your butt w/ your $1000 (or whatever you have to invest) is the difference between making it and not making it.

“Good thing your blogging partner in crime is 29! ”

Yeah, rub it in E!
I can’t see why they couldn’t have made 36 their threshold…grumble, grumble, grumble.

Yep, its not about the $1,000. Its about access to resources. Its about confidence. Its about finally taking action and getting your s*** out there.
