About this time two years ago my husband applied and got accepted to participate in a 4-month program called the Founder Institute
"The Founder Institute is a global network of startups and mentors that helps entrepreneurs
launch meaningful and enduring technology companies.".
Through his participation in this rigorous program, he started BlogMutt.com.
Last week I wrote that I did not love it when my husband quit his consulting gig to pursue creating his company. This past week Scott had the opportunity to appear on the Channel 9 morning show here in Denver to let viewers know that BlogMutt.com is hiring contract blog writers. He received over 200 applications that day from people who want to write blogs.
Creating jobs is the upside of entrepreneurism. As an entre-spouse this is a part of entrepreneurism that I like a lot. We both think pay days are great. These are the days when a healthy chunk of money brought in, goes out. Out to people who can now pay their bills, get their cars fixed, send their kids to summer camp. Out to people who help BlogMutt.com succeed.
It has been said that entrepreneurs have a vital role in economic development and are key contributors to innovation and job growth. Sounds pretty worthwhile. If your spouse is considering a venture, and it makes you nervous, you might find you can bear the risk when you consider that the venture may provide gainful employment for a few, or a lot, of people.
