Startup Stories #4

Wednesday December 24, 2008

Welcome to the Holiday Edition of Startup Stories, my occasional roundup of first-hand stories by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs. And what better day of the year for stories than Christmas Eve? There aren't any elves or reindeer here, but we do have a few wise men (and women) and maybe even an angel or two. Happy Holidays!

Go Scooter Girls!!! - An inspiring entrepreneurial story of starting a business during the current financial crisis and finding a way to beat layoffs.

How We Got the Courage to Start Our Own Business - This is perhaps the greatest challenge entrepreneurs face, especially when you have a family and are living in Silicon Valley. Hear how one couple did it.

My Boring Story of How I Started Working From Home - Another work-at-home mom shares her story of working at home. She may think it's boring - others will find it inspiring.

Avoid Knowledge Constipation: Just Do It! - A guy in search of the American Dream shares a couple of things he's tried along the way that worked, somewhat, but didn't work out like he hoped.

Using A CMS For A Content-Rich Website - I love this post, because it takes a technical topic, a resource list and product reviews and makes it all exceedingly engaging by wrapping it in a story.

Why I Love Mondays - A short little anecdote that sums up the difference between most entrepreneurs and corporate workers.

Why a Graceful Departure Is Important - This story is equally applicable whether you're changing employers or striking out on your own. In either case, you don't want to burn your bridges.

That's it for this edition. If you'd like to have your own story included in a future edition, please review the posting guidelines and then submit your post.
