Through my tagging of technology, I found a blog that related to my idea - that a crazy idea is all thats needed in today’s society.

Here it is:

So, if you’re going to start a company, you better have an idea so radical that most people think it’s crazy. Dell sounded crazy — a personal computer company started in the teeth of an enormous recession in the industry. People thought the idea behind Netscape was nuts — everybody told us we’d never amount to anything. Google sounded like a crazy idea — another search engine, started in 1998, growing right through the dot-com meltdown. It seemed like complete lunacy. Of course, the problem is that a lot of ideas that sound crazy are crazy. So for every Dell, Netscape, and Google, you get 300 companies with crazy ideas that fail.

This blog also reiterates my point that Fixed assets and capital are no longer the most important things in order for a business to succeed. A single idea, with the help of technology can be all that’s needed.
