Meetup - The Entrepreneur Meetup Group
I've been hoping to make it over to one of the Seattle Entrepreneur Meetup Group's get-togethers listed on Meetup.com for the past 8 months or so. They're meeting today, but I'm just not sure if it's a good idea yet. I'd hate for someone to hear specifics on what I'm doing and then decide to create some additional competition. Not that competition is all that bad. So far I've outlasted several others who've tried to emulate what I'm doing with the apartment sites. Of course, their attempts all sucked. My worry is if someone with great talent and deep pockets tries to do the same thing. I am of course lacking one of those attributes. Right now the sites aren't at the level of maturity where I would feel comfortable in even hinting at some of the secret sauce of my enterprise. Maybe sometime soon I'll feel I've created a significant enough barrier to entry. I think there might be some benefit of meeting with others who might be in the same boat. Not only from helping with business issues, but also working mostly on my own means I've only met a handful of people since moving to Seattle a year and a half ago. Maybe in the next month or two... Besides, I can't make it to today's meeting because I'm trying to be good about hitting the gym 6 days a week and it's at the same time as my workout.
