Starting your own business is an intensely personal process. You're pouring a lot of your time, effort and money into achieving something you've long dreamed of doing.

Beat-up notebooks, coffee dates, and Venn diagrams that look like spirographs. Your new venture is finally gaining steam, and you're feeling pretty good about where you've taken things so far.
