Good, concise article by graphic designer and small business owner Kevin Potts on key steps in starting your own business. As someone who is living through 2 business start-ups, each quite distinct, this article reminds me of the things we did right (get a lawyer, business name, partners, etc.) and the things we want to do better (marketing, maintaining the pipeline). While there are lots of small business books out there, this is an effective quick summary of the first phase, getting started.
