		<description>Awesome post.  Every entrepreneur should follow David&#039;s 5 habits plan:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;   1. Read one of the Personal MBA books every other week until you’ve finished all of them, and then never stop reading a highly recommended book every other week&lt;br&gt;   2. Have lunch with an entrepreneur you don’t know well every week and prepare a casual list of questions that you’d like to know his/her thoughts on&lt;br&gt;   3. Join an EO-like organization immediately for peer-to-peer accountability groups and get actively involved on the board in a leadership role&lt;br&gt;   4. Improve at least one thing in your business every week and don’t be afraid to try improvements that will fail&lt;br&gt;   5. Actively re-evaluate your company corporate culture on a monthly basis and continually make it better knowing that your corporate culture is the most sacred thing you’ll spend time on as an entrepreneur</description>

		<description>Great advice Jeff.  Reminds me of a quote I like:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Building a successful business is the hardest and best thing I ever did.  In the beginning, it is hard to keep going when you don&#039;t know if you are going to make it.  After you make it past break even, you are lucky if you are not burned out.  But once you&#039;ve done it, you know you will never work for anyone else again - unless they give you millions of dollars :)</description>

		<description>Great post Jeff. I agree that you need to just put yourself out there full-time and treat it like a marathon and not a sprint. Here are my thoughts on the topic:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://davidcummings.org/2009/08/28/five-habits-of-a-successful-entrepreneur/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://davidcummings.org/2009/08/28/five-habits...&lt;/a&gt;</description>
