We recently had some good discussion here about the fact that irregular blog posting doesn't seem to be the reader turn off that many assume it to be or promote it as. I hope that we can follow this with some discussion of what does turn readers away. For me, it is usually the writing. I don't just mean bad writing, but writing that in some way makes me feel unwelcome or unwanted.

I am on my way toward establishing myself as a successful businessman. What are the things that I should do to maintain success? If you are an independent business owner with more than 5 years experience and a relatively viable organization, please share what you are doing to keep it that way.

Where did you get your start-up capital?

What is the most important step in starting a business?

Those are just a couple of questions I thought of.

Looking forward to your replies.
