I loved the distinction between normal startups to "get rich" and micro-businesses to support your ideal lifestyle. What Faraz says about technology dropping the cost of starting micro-businesses is absolutely true. I am a nomad by trade - I split my time between NYC, Boston and SF as a student and entrepreneur. I am starting a restaurant concept called Kitchen of Eden, and here is my challenge: fuse the traditional startup process with the appropriate technology so that I, as founder, can run my companies and lead teams from anywhere in the world, on the cheap. This is especially apropos because I plan on opening restaurants in every major metropolitan area in the country. So far my team and I have been good at boot-strapping, doing most of our work over the cloud for free - concrete5, Skype/Google Video chat, Google Apps, etc. I would love to hear everyones input on how I can maintain that "sweet spot" between traditional start-ups and micro-businesses. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you! Hi guys,

Maybe someone should start a new type of entrepreneur's magazine?

I think the greatest gift of all the available technology and services is mobility. Thanks for the tip about plentyoffish!
