Start-Ups: Free At Last!


"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."

Kris Kristofferson

While "freedom" is high on the agenda of most entrepreneurs just starting out, few understand how much this great song lyric also applies to them.

And when you add to it, "Busted flat in Baton Rouge (substitute the name of whatever town you're starting your business in) from the same song, well . . .

In business, value freedom but fear and respect it as well.

  3. Looking back I know I only saw what I didn't like about working for someone else, and sure didn't see the problems of being on my own. It's worked out OK but it could just as easily gone the other way.
