		<description><![CDATA[I would like to offer two more valuable lessons I&#8217;ve learned since starting my own business from scratch: Get some help. Professional help. I admit it. I&#8217;m an independent, talented-enough person who&#8217;s used to winging things. From school to the workplace, I always got by on auto-pilot mode, showing my best only when it was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=countdownchronicle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1001278&amp;post=6&amp;subd=countdownchronicle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The hardest part in starting a business is that it requires inhuman patience. My lack of experience as an entrepreneur didn&#8217;t prepare me for the waiting game that I had to go through from Day One. Being in charge of the family household since I was nine years old, I was used to being efficient [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=countdownchronicle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1001278&amp;post=5&amp;subd=countdownchronicle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
