Hello World!

I am an Aerospace Engineer from Canada. I have about 5 years of experience since graduating, and while I'm very happy working in aerospace, I am also thinking more and more about becoming an entrepreneur. The purpose of this blog is to post ideas for how to make this happen, get feedback from other like minded people and generally see what's out there.But first, I'm going to tell you a little about who I am, and how I'm going to structure this blog.

I'm going to keep myself anonymous for now since I'm still working in the real world. Now while I like my employer and I enjoy my job, I'm not sure how they would see me reaching out to the world like this. For this reason, I'm keeping myself anonymous on this blog, although if someone wants to know more about me you can always email me and I'll be happy to give you more information.

As I said, I've been working in industry for 5 years. I'd like to think that this gives me just enough experience so that I'm confident I can tackle most problems, while at the same time I don't know just how much work a startup can be. Over these 5 years, I've seen a range of situations. On the technical side, I've been involved in R&D experimentation, design & statistics. More recently I've been involved in programming, modelling and simulation. I've worked in large and small organizations, including a spin-off project.

The reason why I want to become an entrepreneur is twofold. I have been interested in the workings of companies from before I finished school. Starting a business seemed like the natural path even though I was always interested in the technical side as well.

The second reason for my entrepreneurial spirit is a passion that I have for a particular section of aerospace. This section is commercial space exploration. Since I was young, I wanted to get more information on anything to do with space exploration. The latest missions to mars, telescopes to take pictures of far away stars. Anything I could! While this is not easy to do by any stretch of the imagination, I want to build a company that will go to space and make it accessible to everyone.

The hard part comes next! I want to make a profit as well!

So this blog is a simple step in that direction. I will be posting anything I find interesting in this industry, or anything related. I will focus on business opportunities that could lead a company to naturally expand to this area.

What I need from anyone reading this blog, is to look at these posts and add your feedback to what I place here. It doesn't have to expand right into a large venture. I want ideas that take christmas toy robots and transforms it into mining robots on mars. This is meant to be building a company by blog. I want to see innovation by the masses. I don't know if it will work, but I'm willing to try!

Shortly I'll post more on the rules of this blog. I've left comments open on this post. If you have any comments on this leave a comment. I'll take a few days to flesh out the blog a bit before I start posting ideas.
