		<description>Very exciting!   Just remember it&#039;s the business side of the business that will likely kill you.  I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll do great.  Good luck and can&#039;t wait to hear more about it.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t wait to hear more!  I certainly hope the new business takes off like gangbusters and you can leave the regular 9-5 job you are at now.
That would be awesome!

		<description>Congrats to you! Very exciting. Having started my own biz almost nine years ago (wow, that&#039;s almost a decade!), I can say sometimes not knowing what you don&#039;t know is a good thing. If you over think it, you may second guess yourself. I&#039;m sure you&#039;re great at what you do, so dive in with your eyes open.

Oh and starting a biz is much like having a baby -- everyone thinks you need advice. So here&#039;s mine, you should consider having someone else do your logo and other marketing. You may be too close to it and can&#039;t see it objectively. We hired someone else to do ours, and our stuff came out way better than we could have done ourselves.</description>

		<description>Way to go - it is hard work, but can be well worth it.  Besides, with all your Twitter and other contacts, you&#039;ll have lots of help and feedback :-)  Ann</description>
