Welcome to the 8th edition of the Carnival of Entrepreneurs. So far so good! We continue to get a great turnout of articles from a wide range of people - stay-at-home entrepreneurs, students, veteran business folk, serial entrepreneurs and more.
The combination and mix of writing is what makes the Carnival so interesting.

Ian Landsman is founder, programmer, chief marketing officer, evangelist and bookkeeper for his 1-man software company, UserScape. (Actually, I’m not sure he does the bookkeeping anymore…) UserScape currently has one product — HelpSpot, which Ian describes as user centered help desk software.

Patricia Greene from Babson College muses on the top ten issues for women entrepreneurs in 2006.

Big companies are notorious for providing poor customer service and responding in monotonous, corporate speak to problems. Many of us accept that as truth and move on. But we shouldn’t. There are plenty of lessons to be learned…
Recently a friend of mine, Paul McEnany went into a Kohl’s department store in Dallas, Texas and was […]
There are many reasons why startups should go out right now and get customers. Skip the eons of planning, strategy, years of development and drum up some business.
Shawn Hessinger reminds us of another great reason — your first customer could become an investor.
He recounts an amazing story:
When Scott Mitchell founded Learning Productions in Temple, AZ., […]
