E is for Entrepreneur

The all-American entrepreneurial spirit might just be the springboard we need to get us out of this recession, according to a recent CNN.com article. Commerce Department data reveal that small businesses account for nearly 99.1% of all employer firms in the United States. Consider a company like Google, which started off as a little seed of a dream and is now the whopping enterprise we all know and love. In fact, many successful businesses were created during periods of economic downturn, says CNN.com's Amy Wilkinson. So if you've always secretly hoped to start your own business, now might be the time.
