10 Dollars and A Laptop
Share
Last weekend at the always inspiring SobCon event in Chicago, I had the opportunity to meet Greg Hartle, the itinerate business consultant and philosopher.



He’s on a mission to visit 50 states, collect 501 stories, and demonstrate that it’s possible to make a living starting from scratch–even in this new, challenging (to say the least) economy.



He started his journey with ten dollars, a laptop, and the clothes on his back (can you say, OS!M?):



“In an effort to truly understand what it takes to navigate the new economy,” says Greg. “I’ve personally given up all my possessions including my vehicle and basically started my life over with just $10 and my laptop. That means there may be days I don’t eat or have a place to sleep. I will have to rely completely on my ideas, creativity, experience, hard work, the generosity of others, and what I learn from the people I meet along the way to reconstruct my life from zero. Let’s find out together what it will take to build a life and businesses in this new economy.”



Yes, let’s!
