You are a tech entrepreneur, no doubt. You got the ingredients. Hope you stick it out long enough. Hello from the trenches.

Conway Tue, 23 Feb 2010 05:52:36 +0000 http://www.metamorphblog.com/?p=47#comment-446 Matt, As President and founder of an e-commerce store, I read your post and found a number of great ideas! I especially like the commitment to frugality while maintaining quality. Too many entrepreneurs focus on the 'big shot' aspects of their dream rather than the street fighter tenacity that it takes to develop a dream. Great Article! I will refer back to it each time I need a good kick in the nuts. ;-) Thanks, Neil Matt,
