I just read an article by Rudy Carrasco that is very encouraging.
Beginning something as an ambitious "change the world type" is very difficult. Some quick observations.
Many people are supportive of an idea, few friends are very skeptical, few know how or ask how to get involved.
Fundraising is hard when you have little contacts. I read a quote that is very important for this, "If you do not believe in what you are doing, then you shouldn't be doing it. If you do, then you should never be afraid to ask somebody to fund it."
With no seed money, all work must be done in the nooks and crannies of time between work and personal life.
When you work alone, it is very hard to pull yourself out of a demoralized state. Rudy's article will be a fantastic tool to help me pull it off.
