Fear is indeed the Mind Killer...

Not to mention a killer of businesses. Good albeit somewhat rambling post on TechCrunch with advice on how to prepare both yourself and your business to grow. Also, on a somewhat related note, I like Seth Godin's blog posts for his ability to distill ideas into action - a case in point is his latest post, which for some, works out into being an effective kick in the pants to do what you already know should be done to move yourself and/your business forward.
