Random thoughts…

When I started my real estate website MillionSaver.com I was hesitating if I should spent about $60 per year for hosting. I hosted in on free web hosting and it seemed as enough at that time. I was extremely careful with expenses, and took the whole project as experiment. If someone told me that this websites will bring almost one million in deals (GCC - grossed closed commissions) to real estate agents in 2005 I wouldn’t believe that. Internet is very powerful tool to start great businesses with minimum investment. It allows anyone to be very creative and accomplish a lot without a lot of money and keep the freedom of doing the things they way you like it without venture capitalists breathing at your neck. I think there are endless options how to use open source or very creative programming to bring solutions to old problems. Creative thinking and small investment can achieve huge results, without too much hard work. That’s the way I like to do business and want to continue in 2006. The key is to work with like minded people and it is one of the reasons I started to write this blog. I hope that some of the new projects next year will be done with some of the smart people coming to read these pages.
