Some people think that a bootstrappable business must by its very nature be a trivial one....They are wrong. - Guy Kawasaki, The Art of the Start

Greatest Challenge
Knowing that I could do so much more, if only the things that I can imagine in a single afternoon could become a reality in an entire year (or in my lifetime). Ideas are easy, implementation is key.

Expert's Advice
Beware of advice expressed in absolute terms, e.g., "Every entrepreneur must...[do this or do that]." Do what you do, and specialize in being who you are. You will need to keep in mind, if you want to make a living, that what you do will have to satisfy someone who is willing to pay. I think entrepreneurs should carefully observe performers, such as street musicians -- these musicians play, and passersby contribute, if they are sufficiently impressed (or they keep walking, if they are not). People will stop and listen when you are playing the right tune. Be yourself, express yourself, create, and "do what you do," but be sure to notice whether or not you are attracting an audience.
