Being a Polymath

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

A polymath (Greek polymathēs, πολυμαθής, "having learned much")[1] is a person whose expertise fills a significant number of subject areas. In less formal terms, a polymath (or polymathic person) may simply refer to someone who is very knowledgeable. Most ancient scientists were polymaths by today’s standards.[2]

One of the problems with being a polymath is that people tend not to beleive that you actually have knowledge in so many areas. You end up being veiwed as a "know-it-all" which implies that you don't really know what you're talking about.

Up to now, I've been focusing on one are that I really enjoy. That is, Computers. But I have other areas of focus that I'm good at. I need to start doing business with those areas too. I'm going to focus mostly on technology because MidwestGuru can be used as a blanket company for all things tech. But I'm going to start up other companies for other areas as time goes on.

Startup headaches

It's been a long slow road starting up a company from scratch. Especially doing it the way I've been doing it. That is, debt free. I'm finally getting to a point where I have the tools I need and will be starting to actually earn money. All the income up to this point has been sunk into tools and advertising. Thus, there hasn't been a net profit yet.
