FROM THE EDITOR<br />

The month of October certainly cruised by. Perhaps because<br />

of the goals I have set for the year 2012 and still haven’t met,<br />

time seems to be racing. I look back at the year and realize<br />

that I haven’t gotten to where I intended to be yet. Some of<br />

my goals changed during the course of the year, for the best<br />

I presume. As December approaches, I am both filled with<br />

excitement and fear. Excitement for the festivities. Fear for<br />

the coming year. What will the coming year have in store for<br />

me or rather what do I have in store for the coming year.<br />

I have just gone through a hectic week. I had no idea that<br />

starting a magazine, I would have to go through so many<br />

meetings and so much travelling. The initial picture I had in<br />

my head was of me sitting behind a desk, a computer in front<br />

of me and all I had to do was type.<br />

There is nothing as difficult as trying to convince a start-up<br />

entrepreneur to share their idea with everyone. They are<br />

always so suspicious, possibly are afraid that their idea might<br />

be stolen and used somewhere else. While this may be true,<br />

they however fail to realize that the vision they have for their<br />

business will never be the same as the next person’s vision<br />

for a similar company. Therefore the implementation will<br />

certainly be different.<br />

I believe start-up entrepreneurs should have more faith and<br />

be more forthcoming about their ideas and get them out<br />

there. Besides what better way to start than to start (take the<br />

first step)? As soon as your idea is out there, people notice<br />

and are aware of you and your business.<br />

Sigh Magazine seeks to profile as many start-up companies so<br />

as to give them the necessary exposure to the market. To be<br />
