Book: The Elastic Waist Entrepreneur

Sheila Scarborough at Jelly Coworking in Round Rock TXThanks for visiting this Page on my blog.

I needed to set up a quick “home” for a book idea that I’m working on.

It currently has this elegant title: Starting an Online Business When You’re a Woman Over 40 Who is Fairly Clueless About Business.

Yeah, I know.  Needs work, right?

My claim to expertise is that I’ve done what’s in the title (including a post-military career change) and I think I can help others with what I’ve learned.

Meantime, I’ve given my little pile of ideas a nickname – “Elastic Waist Entrepreneur” – because we older folks start dressing for comfort after a few years.

A question I’ve already gotten….

Do I plan to expand the book’s scope to include information for younger people and men?

Certainly that’s a possibility, but for now, I’m sticking with what I know best, through my own personal successes and failures as a relatively new entrepreneur.

Does this sort of book sound good to you?

If so, I’ve put an email signup box at the bottom of this page so that I can contact interested people with updates when I have something more than a vague outline in my head.

No worries about me spamming you with tons of bookish garbage….I’m not that organized on this project.

Yet. :)

Update:  There was such positive feedback about the elastic waist idea that I went off and bought the domain name  http://www.ElasticWaistEntrepreneur.com Nothing there yet, but at least I own it….

Update No. 2: Yes, now there’s a Facebook Page for entrepreneurs with elastic waist pants.

Update No. 3: Serial entrepreneur Wendy Piersall and I have proposed a panel for the 2012 SXSWi (South by Southwest Interactive) tech conference – Elastic Waist Entrepreneurship for Women 40+. We welcome your comments and votes on the PanelPicker!
