    Forget Venture Capital, Raise Mental Capital

    In my short video review of the book Bootstrapping: Weapons of Mass Reconstruction by Sramana Mitra, I mentioned that she brings up the topic of mental capital.

    Online Client Billing Made Awesome by GreenerBilling

    One of the things that entrepreneurs don’t like is sending out bills. Whether it makes you feel greedy, like an asshole for trying to get paid, or just bad for charging what you’re charging, it’s usually not fun. However, on the other end of it, getting paid is great.
