Beautiful Thing no. 745: Entrepreneurship

Are they cute or what?  They probably can’t spell entrepreneurship, unless they are budding Kavya Shivashankars.   If you can, you are probably adult enough to actually start a “real” business, whichs is a beautiful thing.

Recently, (with the immeasurable help from my brothers) I launched a publishing company called MJMbooks that will print customized children’s books for proud parents and doting relatives.  What sets it apart from the terrible versions of other personalized children’s books is the level of customization.  Customers can choose from hundreds of combinations of images to find one that matches their child.  Most other custom children’s books only allow for the name to be replaced, so we think we’ve got a special product catalogue that will be especially popular as a Christmas of birthday gift.

It has been an empowering journey to go from making a cute Christmas present for my niece to making it available to the world on the interwebs and I have felt a sense of pride and connectedness to the American Dream and Capitalism.  The Boy Scout in me is saluting the flag right now.  The wholesome sense of empowerment, and can-do attitude that entrepreneurship breeds is truly a beautiful thing.
