New ventures and near horizons

Some of the ventures I've started on in the past have been successful and some not,

but never a waste of time, I've learnt so much from business deals  and companies that went belly up, in total I have 5 current businesses which I own or partner in, times are though and I hear the majority off my friends in business and not being quite negative about prospects in Ireland.
I currently believe that Ireland still has some great potential for entrepreneur; fair enough with the economy down things are slow but there are still lots of people in This country with  money and are willing to spend.



Consumers aside the amount of sme  start ups is still growing which gives the business to business sectors strength.

Ireland's property market is at hard times but its safe to say it is still undecided about growth prospects or not.

No doubt the euro is on tough times and I still think property will hover or else drop.

the way Greece and Spain are at the moment doesn't help the euro situation either at all, but nether do we, If i had allot of money right now property would be the last thing invest in. due to Geo-political issues such as potential war with turkey and Syria which Is essentially on Europe's front door?
