In this highly virtual world we live in, we are able to access emails on our Blackberries, hold video conferences over Skype, the location of a company becomes seemingly unimportant. Anyone can make a business out of nothing, some even create their own businesses in the comfort of their bedrooms.
Well, the truth is, location does matter especially when it comes to the area of technology. Silicon Valley is where all the technology experts gather, and where innovation, ideas, multibillion dollar companies like Google, Paypal are born. I strongly believe that we don’t just get “lucky”, we make our own luck. We go out, look for like-minded people with the same drive and ambition and create something amazing. In order to increase your chances, the easiest way is to look for hubs like Silicon Valley when you are surrounded by all these talented people centralized all in one place. Who knows, the person you meet at a bar may just be the next Bill Gates.
Does the location of the company matter? In my opinion, the location of the company plays an important part in determining the size of your target market, the ability of being successful, the available resources around you in helping you to achieve your dream.
Such is the essence of Entrepreneurship, we don’t just sit and wait for things to happen, we make things happen.
