From my perspective being an entrepreneur is a way of living life not the limiting tunnel concept of owning a business. Being an entrepreneur is about owning something, but it about owning your life and assuming responsibility for how you act and treat others. The guys on Wall Street acted more like runaway bureaucrats that true entrepreneurs. I have been an entrepreneur all my life and all my life I have voted for the Republican candidate for President -- not this time. I may not agree with all of Barak Obama's ideas but I do agree with his philosophy. Unfortunately, John McCain reminds me of the typical bureaucrat stuck in the past and bent on defending the status quo. Tradition is something to build on not rest on. www.bobmaconbusiness.com
Matt Bandyk, a reporter for U.S. News, explores capitalism from where it all begins, with the entrepreneur, whose risk taking and experimentation provide the roots from which the rest of the economy grows. As much courage as it takes to create one's own business, even the entrepreneur needs some help, and this blog will look at news, trends, and practical advice for starting and running a small business.
