Tuesday, April 23, 2013. The 10,000 Hour Rule. Malcolm Gladwell and Nick Bayliss have both written about the 10,000 hour rule - it takes 10,000 hours of practice doing something to become really competent. Bill Gates discusses this in a video.

Thursday, June 20, 2013. Bootstrap or Raise Outside Funding? The New York Times Small Business Column in the Thursday, June 20, 2013, Business Section ran a great article on "Self-Finance or Raise Money? A Quandary for Start-Ups". I believe bootstrapping is better. I'm even co-writing a book with a really successful entrepreneur which includes content on how bootstrapping can work in your favor.
