Nice post by Mick Liubinskas on why it’s a good time to start a business, it’s positive and the logic makes sense.

I agree that people are more important then the idea but don’t agree that the supply and demand equation for hiring rockstars will dramatically change. I won’t go into the detail but demand for highly skilled and professional talent is a long term demographics based issue that even a downturn in the economy won’t change. You may get your hands on the back up vocalists in the band but the rockstars who are essentially the the heart of the business will be well looked after by their companies, so that when things turn again ( and as we know they will ) then those smart companies can capitalise because they have the superior talent to execute. Spoken like a true recruiter i know but hey I’m betting my business on it
