		<description><![CDATA[I recently saw a job post for Rapleaf, where under one of the &#8220;perks&#8221; they had listed was: &#8220;Unlimited PTO- we believe passion and hard work grants flexibility and trust.&#8221; That got me intrigued.

		<description><![CDATA[CEO Lesson for Day: Focus on the road not the wall—When they train racecar drivers, one of the first lessons is when you are going around a curve at 200 MPH, do not focus on the wall; focus on the road. If you focus on the wall, you will drive right into it. If you focus on the road, you will follow the road. Running a company is like that. There are always a thousand [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently reading the &#8220;Facebook effect&#8221; by David Kirkpatrick. In it, it&#8217;s discussed how Peter Thiel made the first angel investment for Facebook. It was a $500k investment for a 10.2% stake. Some say that actually might be the best investment in history, because it&#8217;s now reportedly worth between $3-4 billion with Facebook&#8217;s estimated value topping $50 billion. That&#8217;s over a 6,000x return on his capital in 5 years! It&#8217;s interesting because Peter Thiel made [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently came across a couple good articles about bootstrapping. One called the &#8220;Art of Bootstrapping&#8221; by Guy Kawasaki and the other called the &#8220;Ten Rules for Bootstrapping Your Business&#8221; by Thomas Frey. I combined the tips, rules, advice (whatever you want to call them) from these 2 articles and made it into 1 big list.   Some of the info is really good&#8230; Here is the Art of Bootstrapping. 1) Focus on cash flow, not [...]]]></description>
