Never use your own money! Borrow and lose other people's money. It's the American Way! wink

(Note: I am an American, and thus reserve the right to poke myself in the eye.)

(While this was meant to be funny, it's really meant to be "ha-ha serious" not "ha-ha funny". Start-ups are by-nature risky endeavors. Putting your own financial well-being on the line in this fashion is as foolish as tight-rope walking without a net. If you've got a C-corp your personal assets should be somewhat protected. Make sure to do your homework on this...)

Oh, and last of all: Don't Panic. You can always flee to Europe or elsewhere. ;)
