Indeed, what's the point of promoting entrepreneurial and economic growth if we sabotage it via these "suffocation" tactics?
Giving lip service to entrepreneurship certainly isn't going to beef up any of our local enterprises. We definitely have to recognize that and get out of our own way.
@sbraford Nope, it wasn't payperposted, just think weebly's amazing. I'd love to talk with any of the weebly folks if anyone can send them my way-- my info's on the blog at carolynnduncan.com.
My favorite part is this: "To almost everyone except criminals, it seems an axiom that if you need money, you should get a job." As an entrepreneur, I'm happy to almost be in the same category as a criminal. ;)
I also love the 0% dissatisfaction idea, whether or not the result is a success. The experience of launching your own project just can't be replicated. Any of the points you mentioned, even if the result is complete failure, is well worth the expense of time & risk.
