		<description>1) Great find.

2) Most powerful point: If you don't quit your job to run your startup, it suggests you really don't fully believe in it.  

3) I think the traditional B-plan "Financial Section" doesn't make sense for web-based startups (especially consumer applications).  Beyond understanding your expenses, everything else is pretty much fictitious.

4) Mark Cuban has been criticized for not having passion about his businesses, however, he's a glowing example that you don't necessarily need to be passionate about your business as long as you have doggedly insane work ethic.  There is no cookie cutter rule set for entrepreneurship.</description>
