Having done the startup thing and lost my shirt in the process - you can read my Lessons from the Land of Hard Knocks - http://wp.me/1pqm - realize there are no guarantees of an ROI in monetary terms. However, as a teacher you have a much higher probability of actually making a difference and touching peoples lives than getting excellent an excellent Karmic ROI.

That said, I'm still working toward my entrepreneurial goals, just a little wiser and in a little more measured fashion - and this time I'm focused on working on something that I really care about whether I make a dollar on it or not.
