		<description><![CDATA[As part of my continuing series of posts about entrepreneurship I&#8217;m going to talk about something which is very close to my heart: family. The family unit is incredibly robust. No entrepreneur should be without his/her family, and should strive as much as possible to bring some of the solidarity of the family unit into [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=elephantcollective.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5199737&amp;post=128&amp;subd=elephantcollective&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are ideas the currency of the 21st century? I don’t think so. You see, an idea is worth nothing; at least, not until somebody’s done something with that idea. A trap that people can easily fall in to is becoming too precious about their ideas, and not telling anybody else about them. It may sound [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=elephantcollective.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5199737&amp;post=127&amp;subd=elephantcollective&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My current preoccupation with ‘bootstrapping’ has led me to a rather counter intuitive conclusion. When starting a business, you don’t necessarily have to go into the hottest area. What really matters for the frugal entrepreneur are the people that are available. If you already know a great group of people with experience in an area, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=elephantcollective.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5199737&amp;post=126&amp;subd=elephantcollective&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working on a few projects recently, and they&#8217;re all bootstrapped, requiring huge amounts of input from the community. When I explain to people what I am trying to do, I&#8217;m often met with a wry look, as if to say &#8220;good luck with that mate.&#8221; But the philosophy that I espouse is open [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=elephantcollective.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5199737&amp;post=124&amp;subd=elephantcollective&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has long been known that motor sport helps to drive innovation in transportation technologies. However, the unfortunate reality is that while technological improvements have been made, they haven&#8217;t been in the area that really matters: sustainability. A medley of motor sporting bosses have decided to buck the trend with new events for low carbon [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=elephantcollective.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5199737&amp;post=122&amp;subd=elephantcollective&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I hadn&#8217;t heard the expression before, but I quickly realised that I wanted to be one. A portfolio worker is someone who&#8217;s income is derived from a variety of sources, such as consultancy [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=elephantcollective.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5199737&amp;post=121&amp;subd=elephantcollective&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
