and Event Center Spirit of the Entrepreneur Article at www.entrepreneur.com/startingabusiness/selfassessment/article190986.html By Sarah Pierce (February 2008) addresses five entrepreneurial characteristics that will ... take you far as you start your business. Read the article and consider adding passion, positivity, adaptability, leadership, and ambition to those characteristics found in the .network definition of entrepreneurial spirit which is accessible under the basics of entrepreneurship above. Writers focus on information for entrepreneurs: We've noticed that the names of certain writers keep popping up
as .network users bring online articles and reprints
from magazines to our attention. One writer's name that we've seen
often over the years is Rieva Lesonsky (she
first came to our attention in 2001). Lesonsky is an example of a
writer who focuses on entrepreneurship and small business leadership.
Rather than publish a lot of quotes from Lesonsky to accommodate
searches for resources, we've organized three key word combinations
below. Simply copy and paste the italicized text lines, keeping the
quotation marks, to the search engine at the top of this page. Tell us about your favorite writer or online resource article that you think would interest entrepreneurs and small business leaders. Email us your comments or a critique along with the URL address string we need to find and access your suggestion online. You are welcomed to write something yourself, i.e., to contribute an original resource paper or article which we will consider publishing in a .network website for free.

for everybody, but it wasn't all bad. The solution is to take the best

operate from a remote location, electronic cottage, or home office.
The freelancer may telecommute to get the job done. One
