Educating Myself.

[swestrup]

Since I've been thinking about the whole entrepreneurial thing and having my own business and such, I've started reading up on some of the aspects of that of which of I have little clue. One huge area is in investment agreements with Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors. As a consequence I've subscribed to a number of blogs such as Venture Hacks. For me, this is pretty much jumping in at the deep end as many of the terms, expressions and ideas that they take for granted are new and unfamiliar to me. For example, I just now worked out that 'selling debt' is what I would call 'getting a loan'.

Anyway, I'm hoping that this stuff will A) eventually start to all hang together in my head and B) actually prove to be of some use.

Educating Myself

Lee ( http://www.vrxinc.com/ ) recommends "The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It," by Michael E. Gerber. Perhaps you've heard of it? The "E" probably stands for "Enterprise," which might be a bit misleading, but it gets a lot of high marks at Amazon:
