		<description><![CDATA[As an entrepreneur, are you ready for the massive internet business tidal wave that is coming? I believe that the internet is going to revolutionize many industries of traditional business throughout the next couple to few decades. I believe that the primary thing that this coming tidal wave can be attributed to is the recent social media revolution that has occurred within the past few years. It will become the norm for most people to have a business or side project of their own, largely via the web, with economic earning potential. There are a few fundamental things that will likely cause this paradigm shift to progress and eventually achieve mass scale. Even though this shift may ultimately be more of a challenging environment to traditional professional entrepreneurs, like me, I definitely invite it to happen since it is good for humanity at large. I look forward to this paradigm shift in business and am going to work to position myself to support as many of these new wave entrepreneurs as I can.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot of entrepreneurs have mixed feelings about business plans. Some see them as useless. Others see them as vital. I was on the fence a few years ago but am now firmly positioned in the opinion that they are vital when talking about a true entrepreneur with a real business. A professional entrepreneur taking on a serious venture is going almost always be involving other people at some point who will have a meaningful stake in the venture’s performance. Unless one is so credible or so suave that a business plan doesn’t matter, then having a business plan to backup other people’s investment of resources in your company is going to help you seal the deal. When creating a killer business plan aimed to convert potential into results, you really want to dig deep down and create something world class.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost all businesses are primarily hierarchical. This means that almost every worker is governed by someone in an authoritative position above them. Picture a pyramid. Ideally, I think this is flawed. A logical alternative to a typical corporate hierarchy would be a heterarchy. A heterarchy is like a peer to peer structure where the people are on the same level. Why not pool everyone together in one big heterarchical group and let policy dynamically create the right virtual separation of people needed to function as a bright, light, and tight system?]]></description>
