Top websites for Entrepreneurs: Iteration 1

After analyzing the 10 entrepreneurial traits last week, let's look at some cool websites for entrepreneurs (Note: this is iteration 1, will be adding more in future):

  1. Entrepreneur.com: Needless to say, if you are an entrepreneur, then you need to scour Entrepreneur.com for information. The success stories are always a motivation. I especially like the business startup kits, categorized by domains and thoroughly researched so that you can focus on your ideas instead of mundane startup worries. The featured blogs are always a great read, my favorites being up and running, and weekend entrepreneur, always thorough and novel.
  2. Steve Pavlina's blog: A great self-development website by an entrepreneur himself! Probably one of the most popular blogs on the web. Need some motivation? Check out Why you should never get a job. Wasting your time sleeping? Check out How to become an early riser. Atleast read through his most popular blogs to get inspired in life.
  3. Liferemix: A comprehensive collection of the best read and insightful blogs that will change the way you think, act and get you started on the road to high performance.
  4. Basecamp: Manage your projects effectively using this tool and never ever miss an action item. Other great tools from this stable include a online todo-list and a very smart way of maintaining checklists and research (entrepreneur's do a lot of research) logbook called BackPack.
  5. Zen Habits: Wanna be more productive and creative? Look no further. Simple and effective techniques to take care of that unwanted slack in your performance. Great postings on coming up with great ideas and innovation. (Although I am still a newbie, I can see a difference in my thinking process already).
That's it for iteration 1. You might have noticed that most sites are productivity sites and only one an entrepreneur-specific site. Well, entrepreneurs are highly self-developed individuals, and getting there means being the best self-manager. Everything else is just legality and processes, for which I feel Entrepreneur.com is good enough.
