Lets face it… The American dream is having a mid life crisis! People are hungry for meaningful vocations, and luckily Crowdfunding has swooped in to save the day. For those looking to make the most out of the Crowdfunding wave a better time has never been upon us. Crowdfunding can allow you to create your dream vocation out of thin air. Yet as with anything long lasting, preparation is key. Start Up Fever is a book to get you prepared for the upcoming sea change in entrepreneurial America. In a society where anyone can tell you that meaningful careers are hard to find, family units lack harmony, and escapism through drugs alcohol and antidepressants is at an all time high –by default we can assume that the business culture has something to do with the problem.
While many books address the How-To’s and D.I.Y portions of Crowdfunding -- Start Up Fever takes it a step further by connecting the dots between Crowdfunding and cultural evolution. The book also shows modern examples of lean-bootstrapped-start-up-models that can defy the odds, and succeed with little to no money down. Business plans the author himself put into practice due to his own lack of meaningful financing in the pre-Crowdfunding era. If modern businesses are going to survive the massive amount of disruptive technologies entering the marketplace (a good thing), these new ventures must have a built in sense of morality, virtuosity, and perpetual change. Start Up Fever shows how psychologically a fundamental change in the economy has already taken place, and how you can use this momental phase shift to your advantage.
Start Up Fever, follows Austin Muhs on his journey from middle class disenfranchisement, to vocational enrichment -- exploring the who, what, and why along the way. Start Up Fever asks the question... If working will generally consume at least a third of our adult lives, then why not attempt to use the most innovative entrepreneurial time in history to its fullest? In this age there is truly no excuse to not make your working life something the beautifies the world, while bettering yourself in the process. Although we may have many jobs in our lifetimes, we all intrinsically know what our vocation is when it hits us. StartUp fever steers people away from the traditional collective pitfalls, and into enjoying the perpetual development that is life! This is a book written for executives, workers, and garage innovators alike, who want a real life account of what areas Crowdfunding economics will effect over the coming decades.
Realizing that finding a vocation can be one of the most difficult obstacles in life, Start Up Fever was crafted specifically for those people looking to do something meaningful in their lives. Since a full-fledged complex business plan can be daunting for some, Austin instead uses more of a lean startup type approach to bootstrapping your new small business with no money down. In an environment where small businesses are getting squeezed, and big business is trying to fix markets to insure stability for themselves, one must be prepared for any economic scenario.
Luckily we have all of the entrepreneurship tools we will ever need right in our own backyard. With the invention of Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Gofundme, 99designs.com, Groupon, Yelp, Living Social, and other “Crowd” based websites -- the American small business community has actually created subconscious healing mechanisms beyond anything that has ever existed before on the earth. Never before have the needs of the population had the chance to instantly receive a desired good or service in a matter of months in most cases. Start Up fever addresses what happens when these unique business models decide to target other areas of our personal life -- a form of instant healing through economic enterprise if you will. Granted anything has a good and a bad side, but with Crowdfunding, miracles have never happened faster…
