Every year about this time I tend to get delusions of grandeur for what my New Year’s resolutions/goals are and subsequently find myself sick as if my body is trying to slow me down and focus on the marathon instead of the sprint. This year has been no exception except I’m not as sick as I usually get and feel like the vision is attainable. I’m hoping to help build an entrepreneurial community in my current state of residence (and any subsequent places of residence). I plan to attempt a local organization with regular meetings and events, a coordination of various awesome people and build a website as a central aggregation of online resources for the state.

Some of the first awesome people I have had the privilege of meeting is Cory & Lindsey Miller. They launched and run a non-profit entrepreneurial foundation called the <div>. It is a tech community hub dedicated to innovation, creativity and training for a better Oklahoma though it offers free webinars that are great for non-tech entrepreneurs that just need help getting up a website and entering the world of social media. They were kind enough to let me come and infect the minds of anyone that happens to show up to a Business Models for Beginners class.  Here’s to a great year!
