Great Example of Blogging Changes to Your Product
I'm a small investor in Shelfari. I read a ton and thought it would be fun to play along with them at home and both a user and an investor.

ATTRACTING INVESTORS: A Compelling Executive Summary in 10 Items or Less
Attracting an investor is like attracting a mate—you want to pique the investor’s interest without showing all your cards at the outset. The perfect vehicle for achieving this delicate balance is the Executive Summary. The goal of an Executive Summary is to whet the appetite of the investor by presenting a compelling premise, an irresistible hook.

Writing a Compelling Executive Summary
Most guides to writing an executive summary miss the key point: The job of the executive summary is to sell, not to describe.

Entrepreneur? - What the Heck is that?
According to most dictionaries, an entrepreneur is a business person who willingly takes a new idea, concept or enterprise. He or She will take on the full responsibility for the outcome.

Defining “Hard Money”
Even though the rates can be high, hard money can be quite useful when an investor has an opportunity to buy a property for a low price and sell it for a profit.
