15.How exactly do you start a web development company and not own a computer?

The short answer is with a big pair of balls. We used to joke around as brokers that all you need to sell stock is 3 letters and a juicy story. The same holds true for websites. People buy because they have a need (thought they may not know that yet) and you are there to fill it. All I had to do was explain that there competitors are all going after the pie and they can't get a piece if there not in the game. A few Glen Garry Glen Ross ABC closes and a check arrives the next day.

A gentleman I met along the way told me one day why we would always be in a position to make money. During the gold rush in California lots of people moved west to make it big on gold claims. Some hit and became rich but many more failed. However there was one guy guaranteed to make his no matter what and that was the man selling shovels. It takes big balls to go out on your own and try to hit it big with the next big site or program. I admire anyone who goes out and tries it but personally my bet is on the safe money. Finding a niche people need in order to purse there dreams of hitting it big like software, hosting, feeds, and the such.
