Thanks Tony,

Great post and great advice. Some entrepreneurs seem to view getting funded as an end rather than a means, something that I think is probably the most harmful attitude of all. The end is not to get investment in your company, it's to grow a healthy and profitable business. Ask yourself whenever pursuing financing whether what you are doing will serve this end.

Shawn, thanks for your comment and kind compliment. Hopefully, my blog article will help business owners and their top managers think carefully before they act when considering doing a major money deal and so, get a better one done as a result! (Of course that's presuming they don't go rethink the matter by realizing how they don't REALLY need other people's money just now!)
