The Elevator Pitch
For Entrepreneur/Office worker who wants to start a business the Entreprenuer MiniMall is a center for entrepreneur/office worker to work on their work and dreams that provide a atmosphere of creativity, movitional, and everything the entrepreneur/office worker need to complete his work.. Unlike working at home, The entrepreneur place will give you the inspiration and motivation and everything you need to build your dreams our product Entrepreneur MinimMall center is unique for it has never been done before..
The Idea
Why don't we start a entrepreneur place? Kinda like those "internet cafe" atmosphere, but with a little bit of sophisication and sytle. Just think of it as a fitness center but for entrepreneur/office worker with air conditioning, waiter/waitress bring you drinks, computer for rent, fax machine, printer, business magazine, busines books, and most important a calm, relaxing, and movating environment to pursuit your ideas or just finished your office work. You can even order some snack if you are hungry.
Here wanna be entrepreneur like yourself can have a cup of your delicious "starbuck coffee" and work on their website with "computer for rent", or just work on their "work from work" because they dont' want to go home and be bother by their kids.
This is what you can provide, entrepreneur books, personal development CDs, Free busines magazine to read, copier, scanner, fax, food, basically whatever the entrepreneur need to run his business.
Also, Most bar provide Karokee night! Why don't we provide "Ideas Night" This when you let people sign up to come on Friday to share their idea with other like minded entrepreneur and maybe find a investor, get other people opions, etc..... You can even charge them a small fee to present their idea lolz.... MONEY MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$...
You see where I am going with this?
If not here is 2 scenior ( misspell but who care, I never passed the 9th grade)...
Example A: 21 year old guy who has a great idea for an internet business. He has no clue how to start a business. He found his way to the Entrepreneur Center and when he walked inside, he is presented with energy and motivation place to read business magazines, buy how to start a business books, surf the web and work on his website, order drinks and talk to other likeminded entrepreneur. And most importantly there is air condition so he will be comfortable.
Example B: 44 year old man has a corporate job, he is tired of working in his office and staring at the white wall, while everybody in his company has gone home. He stuck there working by himself. Well he decided, heck with this boring dead place. I will go to Entrepreneur Center and sit down, have a nice cup of coffee, listen to some soft coozy melody, and use their computer to finish the rest of my work and maybe even meet the love of my life there.
How many of you really feel like studying/working at home??? Having your parents yell at you, your kids bothering you, and don't even have a quiet work place to concentrate. Wouldn't you rather go to a place where the environment is motivational, with printer, scanner, computer, books, magazines, and whatever you need to finished your work and pursuit your dreams?
Wouldn't this be cool? You have a business idea and you don't know how to start it, you go to Entrepreneur Center, Buy some books, read some magazines, and maybe even meeting somebody to share your ideas....
DO YOU SEE THE MAIN STRATEGY FOR THE IDEA? " Entrepreneur Center keep the fire (idea/ business dream) going". Entrepreneur Center will help customer feed their flame (business ideas) by providing an business inspirational place for them to come and be inspired to make their idea a reality!!!
Ok, Nothing like this has been done before and if there is such a shop,, I am sure you and I will be there because why? Why the hell are we on cambrianhouse.com? isn't cambrianhouse.com a online shop for "entrepreneur" to keep their flame going???? Look at all the other big multi million dollar "fortune.com" "entreprenuer.com" etc... What they do is keep the business idea flame burning.
Entrepreneur MiniMall (center) will take this concept in to the world of reality and make it into a shop.
I thought of this idea when I was...
I had this idea because some guy who love business so much ask me what kind of business can he start.

I love the idea, there is nothing like that around where I live.
I am right in the middle of launching my own company and this is this is exactly what I would need, especially away from the noise and hassle from home.
I am fortunate enough to work at an office where my friends and I can meet to discuss our business, but I could definitly use this kind of place.
(I repeat myself I know!)
Isn't there already Internet access at Starbucks? Does it cost anything for the users just to be there and use equipment? (you might have mentionned this, I probably just forgot:).
For this to work you'll need good coffee, meals and equipment.
Hit the submit button too fast and my post is incomplete don't worry I'll finish it later:)
This could be similar to joining a virtual office. Everyone shares the receptionist and the office space.
Your idea sounds a lot like a library. I suppose the lack of food and noise at a library might be off-putting for some, but it has most of the features you describe: clerks to provide help. Books, CDs and DVDs to provide inspiration. Many bigger city libraries have coffee shops and cafes to grab a bit to eat at. Computer terminals are available for free or rent in most locations.
I like the idea of building community, providing support, and intentionally promoting a "culture of ideas" in a work environment. It's a more collaborative, interpersonal environment than a library. How will this place deal with people using the facility for illegal activities and scam-like businesses?
You can set it around a cafe. Like the "Idea Cafe", it would be like the little coffee shops the incourage hippy/liberal speak, but focus on ideas and brainstorming.
its more like opencoffeeclub?
Lots of entrepreneur types are very secretive and cautious that someone may "steal their great new idears". In an environment like this I could see some concerns from your potential clients.
there's another one of these, similar to opencoffeeclub, operating in san fran or elsewhere in california. forgetting the name. would be nice to expand that model outward.
This has been done before, but as long as you set it up in a place where such thing does not exist, but is a need for it could be a good idea.
It sounds a bit like a combination between an internet cafe and a bar/restaurant. Like I said, at the right place it could work. I don't think its novel though.
Hey we can always do with another play to work. I spent more time at Starbucks then at the university library. Trouble was that there was no wireless net!
it rocks! 5*
Nice one but need a bit of clarity
