Carnival of Entrepreneurship #18 at Buyout Blog

Friday June 2, 2006

Tom O'Neill at Buyout Blog hosts this week's Carnival of Entrepreneurship, with topics including:

Saying "no" to short-term cash to stay focused on your long-term strategy
Buy/sell agreements
Reinventing your reputation
The #1 mistake entrepreneurs make (I don't agree, but more on that later)
How to hire the right sales rep for your company
Are you a natural-born blogger?
Have you got what it takes to be your own boss?

While you're there, be sure to read How to translate financial reports into action items, which explains the basics of using your financials as a decision-making tool, not just record-keeping. This is something most entrepreneurs I've met don't have a clue about.

Next week's carnival will be at A Thought Over Coffee. Visit the Carnival of Entrepreneurship Home Page for more information on reading, contributing to or hosting the carnival.
