I live in West Palm Beach, and I have to say, this is one of the worst places for a startup. The mindset here is anything but entrepreneurial. It's ridiculously difficult to get any sort of traction going. People come here to retire and die; their mindset reflects that. Unfortunately, I have two properties that I'm upside down on, and I can't sell -- I'm out of here as soon as I can.
- pchristensen 17y agoMaybe that's what's behind the high self-employed number for WPB - lots of real estate agents and investors.
- Ras_ 17y agoPlenty of business in retirement & death + low competition. Bad for living "the start-up life" - but it might be a golden opportunity for business.
- rubeng 17y agoI'd rather enjoy the business that I start, someone else can take advantage of this environment -- I'll pass on the business opportunity.
