From Startup Nation – 10 Steps to Open for Business

This goes into my “Goals: Short-term” category, as I must do this before anything else…pretty much!

Startup Nation is my entrepreneurial website of choice! I have not found anything better yet – not only the content provided, but the community they developed is amazing. Everyone that visits the site is willing to help somehow – of course you will always find some bad apples, but that’s just normal.

Anyway, they have a “10 Steps to Open for Business” that I want to follow. These are podcasts, so I will listen to them at home. I will try to come back and add my comments once I finish listening to each podcast. Hopefully I will learn something…
