Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

I was recently interviewed for a podcast titled “The Struggling Entrepreneur”, and wanted to share a link to the interview now that it is live. Myself and Fred, the host, discuss several topics related to startups – raising capital, having the drive to see things through even in tough times, advice for people thinking about starting their own venture and advice for those who have and are truly a struggling entrepreneur. We also discuss myself as an entrepreneur and the trials and tribulations I went through in my first year on my own starting a consulting/virtual CFO company without the safety net of a steady paycheck.

If you have the time (about 45 minutes), I’d love for people take a break from their hectic schedules and listen in. Hopefully there are some words of inspiration for the entrepreneurs out there.

Hi Chris,

Great interview and very close to home for me a "Virtual CFO".  I provide CFO type services for small and mid size companies that normally wouldn`t have this service available to them.

The marketing is the hardest part. After 28 years in corporate CFO positions - yes, a shock to the system to be on your own,but great to not be tied to one company`s success or one industry`s market conditions.

 

I am glad to learn about Elance - I looked at it for web and software support, but not financial - I am going to check further!
