In my work I run across lots of passionate people who are working in that chaos that is called entrepreneurship. They come by different names:  entrepreneur, business developer, economic development specialist. Entrepreneurial all, they creatively seek new ways to assist entrepreneurs. Some strategies work, some don’t; but all ideas are good. Lately I’ve found myself on a plane more than not. When my feet land on the ground, I get to see some of the innovative ways that people are working to build businesses across America. In an entrepreneurial spirit, I wanted to share those experiences with you. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!
