It's my opinion that you would be better off if you spent as much energy creating a business plan as you spend updating your resume. You would have a better chance of creating a steady income stream if you met with people about your start-up idea than spent meeting people about finding a job.

I know entrepreneurialism is scary for many of you. It doesn't come natural to most of us. Not everyone sits around dreaming up business ideas (some of us can't stop). If you are currently looking for work consider your unemployment check as seed capital to your start-up.  

First: read this post in it's entirety.
Second: write down 5 rough ideas in a notebook.
Third: Come to the next TechBoise event, next Wednesday the 25 at the WaterCooler. email me (tac@techboise.com) to let me know you're coming with a few ideas and I'll connect you with the right people.

I posted this 2 months ago but I think it bears re-posting in its entirety. It is even more true now than it was then.
