Start Ups: How to get started. By Guy Kawasaki

Guy Kawasaki, who worked at Apple and has helped over 100 companies get started, has an article called Make a List, Check it Twice which can help start ups get a grip on what they are trying to do. I've read his book "The Art of the Start" and think it's great. His venture capitalist firm Garage Technology Ventures is for those individuals that have a great idea but need more than their family and friends investing in their endeavor. But if you're that type of business, then contact them.

The more you know, the more productive and successful you'll be.
