IndieBiz - Rules for Startups?

Well, running your own wool business, theatre, webzine, film company, or record store may not be totally akin to launching an internet start-up, still I think you might find these different sets of Rules for Start Ups funny and informative if you’ve ever tried to run any kind of independent small business.
