There Is Much That Public Policy Can Do To Support American Entrepreneurs. Health Insurance Reform Will Make It Easier For Entrepreneurs To Take A Chance On A New Business Without Putting Their Family's Health At Risk. Tort Reform Will Make It Easier To Take Prudent Risks On New Products In A Number Of Sectors.

There Is No Greater Country On Earth For Entrepreneurship Than America. In Every Category, From The High-tech World Of Silicon Valley, Where I Live, To University R&d Labs, To Countless Main Street Small Business Owners, Americans Are Taking Risks, Embracing New Ideas And - Most Importantly - Creating Jobs.

Start-ups Make So Many Mistakes That The Challenge To Identify The Root Cause Of A Failure Is Tough. But Believing In Your Own Plan Is Probably The Worst.

Except In Very Narrow Cases, Where There's Breakthrough Science That Needs Patent Production, Worrying About Competitors Is A Waste Of Time. If You Can't Out Iterate Someone Who Is Trying To Copy You, You're Toast Anyway.
