		<description>Ian - that is so true.  Most people from the UK will treat you like a leper if your business goes bust.  Yet in America it is perfectly acceptable to go bankrupt 3 times before you become a success.

Your blog is brilliant, and I hope it will inspire more people who have got into dire straits with their business.

I don&#039;t have one of those widgets to email my subscribers, but I&#039;ve added you to my blog roll and I&#039;m going to do a post about your blog.</description>

		<description>So true!

Because I failed, I&#039;m going to repeatedly make the same mistakes. Right? And I&#039;m going to put myself through the same hellish existence and carry on doing all the things I learned were wrong to do?

Wrong!

There are sharks out there who make a habit of fleecing all of us by deliberately working the system and re-starting failed businesses with no intention of ever genuinely succeeding.

Then there are the silent majority who fail, and with their failure goes the lessons and mistakes that could have raised a phoenix and led to real success.

I am determined to buck this trend. I shouted my failure from the rooftops. To everyone. Very unlike people in the UK where failure is unforgiven more than anywhere else (I suspect).

So far it is working. Brutal truth and honesty still has a place. Why should I shy away from it because society tells me to?

So far several advisors have been completely wrong. Don&#039;t hide away. Even in an unforgiving environment. People still respect and reward honesty.

Check out my blog. Not because I want to earn from clicks or whatever. But I want as many people who have failed or about to fail that there is real hope.

And if you have a widget thingy that emails your subscribers, please do so. There is hope. And there are (newbie) bloggers like me who just want to spread the word. I have raised my phoenix from the ashes and have a battle on my hands to keep my home and resurrected business.

But I will succeed and I&#039;m determined that people see it can be done. And that more people try rather than throw away everything they have learned.

Sorry for the rant! Just feel very passionate!</description>
