What is your best advice to a budding entrepreneur?
You have to shut out the naysayers and the negativity that inevitably surrounds any new idea. Negativity that comes both from outsiders and also from your own self doubts.
What is a must-have site or resource all entrepreneurs should know and follow?
I wish Twitter had been around when I was a budding entrepreneur. The ability to "follow" and connect with other entrepreneurs, potential mentors and even customers is invaluable.
