		<description>Ben, I know that you manage the least favorite aspects of entrepreneurship well. 

The constant need to adapt and change is only on my favorites list. Part of the exercise in entrepreneurship is creating an organization that is fluid, and malleable.  Fluidity in motion in an athlete is a beautiful thing. For a business, it is a needed survival skill.

The hardest part about being an entrepreneur is always the finances. There is no easy way to birth a vision, create a company, and create valued and valuable employees, and to add the stress of financial management on top of it can often be backbreaking. But keeping in mind that the goal is to create a company that is fluid in its approach allows for a fluidity of business model that creates opportunities whereas a business that is static in its approach must have a rigid approach to funding because its needs are fixed.

Create fluid thinkers, fluid doers, and you will create an entity that will grow beyond what one can imagine.</description>

		<description>Hi Christian,

Thanks for the comment! I totally agree about the market/industry &quot;constantly evolving... stay on top of the game.... constantly innovate.&quot; I often say that when I cash out of &lt;a href=&quot;http://ma.citysquares.com/boston&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CitySquares&lt;/a&gt; I will become a plumber or landscaper - as far away from technology as I can! Then people laugh at me and suggest that I may do that, but &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twitter.com/bsaren&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;I&#039;d twitter&lt;/a&gt; from the job site! I think they have a point...

I don&#039;t do guest posts on this blog, but on &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.citysquares.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CitySquares&#039; blog&lt;/a&gt; we do, as long as its pertinent to small business, marketing, and the challenges of being a small business etc. I&#039;d love to have you write something for it, or even be a regular on there if you think the topics will be relevant.</description>

		<description>Thanks for posting this Ben and thank you for mentioning us!

I totally agree with your #10 post, 
&quot;The constant change and need to adapt.&quot;

Often times the fun and difficult thing about about online advertising is that it&#039;s still such a young industry and constantly evolving, which means to stay on top of the game you need to constantly innnovate.

Great blog, we&#039;d love to do a guest post if you are accepting any at the moment.</description>

		<description>Thanks for posting my quote as part of the Inc article. I truly believe that a business can allow you to decide on and live out your personal definition of success. 

For me, one of those is excelling professionally without sacrificing my personal life. That&#039;s why I aim to run two businesses in just 40 hours a week and also take about four weeks of vacation each year.

My blog www.RealLifeE.com/blog offers time strategies that anyone can use to achieve similar success.

To creating a brilliant life in a burnt-out world!
