Guy Kawasaki, Former Apple Chief Evangelist and Alltop Founder offers advice on starting a business and making the leap as he shares some of his own startup experiences.
As discussed in an early post, the big tip we learned from Steve Jobs which applies to all entrepreneurs, is not to fear failure.

He talks about how his days at Apple still inspire him, how he overcame his doubts about entrepreneurship, and how he came to be a best selling author of "Enchantment."
