Entrepreneurial Spirit
You’ve got to check out this link to Bill Hobbs web site!! And just remember this old story about the young entrepreneur when you read it…..
“Everyone knew I was going to be an entrepreneur from the time I was a little boy,” said the successful businessman while being interviewed by a newspaper reporter.
“How did they know?”, asked the reporter.
“Well, one year back on the farm where I grew up, all I wanted for Christmas was a pony. When I didn’t find one under the tree I disappeared into the back yard. When the family found me, I was digging in a big pile of manure. When they asked what I was doing I replied, ‘I just know there is a pony in this pile of manure if I dig deep enough!'”

Business Planning versus a Business Plan
An article in Inc.com tells a story about entrepreneur Craig Knouf who reportedly has revised his business plan more than 120 times. While this might seem a bit extreme (or as my student Joe called it, ?compulsive?), I think that it illustrates a critical function of business plans.
