If the three keys to entrepreneurial success are to pick the right opportunity, use mentors and raise capital in advance of need, then mentoring is probably the one that gets the least coverage.

Agreed Robert. I believe it's in the DNA of an entrepreneur to initially not seek a mentor. Entrepreneurs are the trail blazers and some of the individuals I know are afraid to seem weak by asking or they do not want to appear as freeloaders because in their eyes they do not have equal value to give back to the mentor. I believe it is the duty of the successful entrepreneur to mentor and impart knowledge to the uninitiated. I am happy to help those less knowledgeable than myself and am unafraid to ask those with more expertise than I for assistance. Mentoring should get more coverage and you should elaborate on that point to your fellow entrepreneurs in your contact circle.

Sounds like a cool company but I don't see their differentiation from all the other comment services out there. What is it?… http://www.readtheanswer.com/index.php?RTA=web2

Well put Michael. And I will eloquently add to your retort to Mark – "Intense Debate Friggin' Rocks!"

Mark – I use it on multiple blogs (I'm the crazy video guy). Michael speaks very humbly about the service so I will advocate for it. It allows you to see who is commenting on your site, who is following your comments, the ability to follow others' comments and see what other kind of interesting sites they visit and comment on. If you are searching for data to help tailor your site to your target demographic, it can really help if used correctly. But the last differentiator and one of the most important – their support is simply as awesome as their service.
