Entrepreneurial whiz Guy Kawasaki gives some solid tips for bootstrapping (i.e., starting a business from the ground up). In the current economic climate, many business ventures have a high risk of failure, even when backed by talented people and exciting ideas, so the first few steps are critical. I’ve applied many of these ideas to the development of Open Left Box, and they’re frequently useful in everyday living as well. I’ve been following Guy’s work for many years, he’s an endless source of energy and motivation.
