Well, hi!
10 months ago, I came up with The Entrepreneur Story project, as the 2nd “Hundred Dollar Business” experiment. The intention was that we would spend 30 days and no more than $100 to create an e-book collection of 100 entrepreneurs’ stories from around the U.S. and each of the 7 continents.
–Map of the geographic locations of our profiled entrepreneurs.
Well, clearly it’s taken more than 30 days. A LOT longer, actually. 
I’m happy to say we only “spent” $9.20 purchasing this website URL, so far, although we will have to pony up for an ISBN number before officially releasing the book. 
The book is in its final stages of review and revision. We’re anticipating a December 2007 release, although, since life is often awkward, you never know. There’s a 30-page sample here, if you’d like a sneak peek.
Thanks for checking out the project! It’s very exciting when we meet new entrepreneurs who have a rich background of experiences working in business and living that elusive dream of being self-employed.
In fact, if you have a minute– consider sending us your story for Version 2! And keep reading the blog to stay up-to-date on the official release.

Hi!
I just took a look at the possible themes for Version 2:
“The Failure Story…” possibility intrigues me because as you know, statistically more businesses fail than succeed–but we’d be hard-pressed to find much in print or otherwise on healing, rebuilding and getting back on the biz horse.
I suspect that a kind of therapeutic how-to from those who’ve lived it on climbing out of the wreckage of failure, especially in these times of hyper-instant gratification just might resonate deeply with many.
