Who, What and Where....

I have a dream list of high profile entrepreneurs that I personally have looked up to in the past years, I plan on a all out assault in trying to get into contact with these people to get there perspective on how young small busses owners and up and coming entrepreneurs are faring in this country and economy. I do want to ask what government policies they wish President Obama or Congress should put int place to help entrepreneurs if any. My dream list includes (no particular order)

Timothy Ferriss- Author of the 4-hour Work Week/ 4-Hour Body, Business Guru

Gary Vandrchuck- Tech guru, Author of The Thank You Economy

Tobi Lutke- CEO of Shopify

Joel Simkhai-CEO of Grindr

Nathan Jurewicz- Real Estate Guru 'Short Sale Kid"

This isn't a complete list, and many of these people on there blogs and websites have links to other small business that I try to contact. The goal being really is to just reach out to this sub-culture from the top down to get an consists on what they fell on the future of entrepreneurship  in America. 

My Questions will include (but not limited to)

At what time in your life you felt confident enough to start your own businesses?

What breaks in beginner funding did you receive and how did you invest it?

How many business would you say you currently operate?

Given the political climate, what do you believe President Obama is not doing to make your life easier? 

Do you agree with the Presidents Budget released earlier in the year?

How would you make your home state and the country a hot bed for budding small businesses much like Silicon Valley or Wall Street?

Where do you see the country in 15 years in terms of growth within small business jobs?

Do you think if you started your first venture today would it be easier or harder?

Do you outsource any aspect outside the country? If so where?

What would you tell college students about to graduate how to tackle the thankless task of starting a business?

Are you hiring? 

This again is just a rough list of questions that I hope could lead to a conversation on future small busses and how they can make a huge change in unemployment in this country, especially for my generation.
