Inspiration from 101 Small Business Bloggers Part 3

Two sections for the price of one tonight!  While many of us are past the Starting Up point, it cannot hurt to think back to the beginning.  I cant help but think that the Cuban quote rises way above the rest.  What do you think?  

More to come tomorrow!

On Starting Up

12. “Don’t start a company unless it’s an obsession and something you love.”
— Mark Cuban,
 Blog Maverick

13. “Be careful about trusting intuition, but be more careful not to bend to the majority for whom ‘impossible’ is a comforting excuse for inaction.”
— Tim Ferriss,
 The Blog of Tim Ferriss

14. “When starting and growing your business, it’s important to bootstrap with your own resources as much as possible.”
— Mike Smith,
 Guerrilla Freelancing

15. “Don’t be afraid to skip a step. The people I consider the most successful (by my definition which includes enjoying their work, earning a good living, feeling happy and accomplishing lots of life goals) do not wait for permission from anyone to pursue opportunities.”
— Pamela Slim,
 Escape from Cubicle Nation

On Financial Management

16. “Become a cash flow king. Manage cash flow like there is no tomorrow

. Know which vendors can wait and who needs to be paid right away. Always have some money on hand for emergencies and only borrow if you know when you can pay it back.”
— Jared Reitzin,
 Mobile Marketing Watch

17. “Jump on every opportunity to eliminate needless costs, but never stop investing in the long-term future of your business—no matter what is happening in the market.”
— Michael McLaughlin,
