| Quote of the Week
"Entrepreneurship is a game of risks versus rewards. It's you against the world, with the odds in the world's favor. It's exciting, frightening, frustrating and fulfilling -- sometimes all in the same day. In an increasingly paternalistic civilization, it is one of the few remaining endeavors where a small group, banding together in common cause, can apply their skill, savvy, guts and determination to changing the world, and see it happen. For those who are up to it, it's the only game there is." - Peter H. Schmidt (Co-Founder, Lifting Mind)
