Voila: Slowpreneur it is

Entrepreneurship seems all about the fast paced world. Your ideas, they say, have a limited shelf life. You have to get them out there ASAP. There is also the great truth "Fail Fast". The new cool thing is Agile. Push out your every week and make a course correction quickly. You see how fast keeps showing up in sentences. Then there is fast company which celebrates your speed.

But here is my problem, what if I don't like being fast? What if I am interested in the journey and not the destination. What if all I want to do is see the scenery, interact with the people (maybe momentarily since they are all running fast) and just cruise along. Am I not enterprising enough to be called an entrepreneur? Then what should I call myself?

A little thought and I realized, if there is fast food, there is also slow food. So if there is an entrepreneur, there must also be a slowpreneur. Of course , dictionary kept complaining about it but like everything else we can use internet to legitimize anything :-). So I searched and voila, it is already there. I guess I was slow on this one too. This was born  on August 31st, 2012, exactly 2 years before I decided to take a plunge. But is it too much of a coincidence that, August 31st, 2014 was my last day at my job?
