    Thinking of starting a small business?

    Consider subscribing to my blog's RSS feed. It's sticky

    I started my own business 22 years ago. (Hey, I’m not as young as I look!) At the time it felt more like insubordination than anything else. Today, it’s a full out revolution. Have you joined? Why not?

    I created this little, perhaps corny, mix that I hope pushes people thinking about starting to do so and inspires those who have started to do more.

    If it speaks to you, feel free to email it to a friend or hit steal this and embed it on your blog or web site. Viva la small business.

      In the words of the immortal Gil Scott Heron, “The Revolution will not be televised….and the revolution will put you in the driver’s seat!”

      Hi John,

      I agree it is a revolution, and we’re working to create the next generation of revolutionaries! I started my first business in 5th grade and haven’t been able to stop since.

      Thanks for all the help.
