Greetings!

I came across this article
[URL]http://www.usatoday.com/money/smallbusiness/2006-07-30-start ing-your-business_x.htm[/URL] and thought it would be great reading to share.  This article is for those who may be wondering whether they have what it takes to start and run a business, for those may already be familiar with the article`s content, but have forgotten and are appreciative of the refresher, and for those who just enjoy a good read 

It is hoped that you will gleen from it all the inspiration you need to take that next step, revise old thoughts, or realize running a business is not for you (which hopefully will not be the case).  Either way, please do enjoy and pass it on!

I really like this article - found some interesting tidbits, and thanks for posting it.

Most interesting was the point about dyslexia; and although I`ve never thought about it, my experience says that there are quite a few people who are successful entrepreneurs who I personally know who deal with it. 

Adversity many times opens up creativity!

" you know you`re an entrepreneur when "your family has been looking for your picture on a milk carton."

He he...this is sort of how I feel about my husband as of late!  It`s a good thing I`m starting up my business as he`s beginning to treat at the chiropractic school`s clinic.  I can`t imagine how fussy I`d be if I didn`t have something to keep myself occupied until 8 each night!  :)

Great article, though.  I was one of those kids with the lemonade stand.  And, I was consistently the top seller whenever we had fundraisers at school.  So, I guess I`m where I should be finally.  ;)
