--Sharing inspiration, insight and entertaining content meant to uplift the bootstrap entrepreneur on the daily adventure of building a new company
--Creating a growing community of bootstrap entrepreneurs, mentors and others not only on this blog but at our MyBlogLog and MySpace home pages interested in this valuable pursuit who can help, motivate and share with each other for success in the future.
This site will also strive to:
1. Share important lessons from real life entrepreneurs through interviews, profiles and success stories posted here on the blog and in our comment section.
2. Gather input from startup entrepreneurs, experienced bootstrappers and mentors about the key ingredients needed to bootstrap a new company.
