		<description>Stephanie... I would clarify on tip #3 - I know some really smart people, but business can be a different animal.  I would use the term &quot;successful&quot; instead - and of course, that&#039;s a subjective term, but hang out with successful people and do what they do.

		<description>Stephanie:
Nice article.  I would add that the business should do a thorough review of the current customers to understand who the favorite or target customer is and what the pain point is.  See tip #4 below

		<description>Hey, this is straight on! I really love #3, because the alternative could leave an entrepreneur feeling blue about their decision to be in business for themselves. Not everyone shares the same interests of an entrepreneur. 

Great article!</description>

		<description>Stephanie,
Good post - thanks.

I think the key is number 5 - measure, measure, measure.

It&#039;s easy for us marketing types to get seduced by shiny new objects and try new things, without considering whether its a good investment of our time and money. Not all measurements need need to be quantitative or based on expensive research; sometimes it&#039;s as simple as taking a little time to consider objectives and results.
