Bankruptcy: It's NOT the End of Your Life. An Entrepreneur's Journey.

Samuel Clemens' (or Mark Twain, under his better-known pen name) complaint about the reports of his death having been greatly exaggerated is apt also for what most people think about bankruptcy: It's NOT the end of your life.

An essay by a high-tech entrepreneur and his personal bankruptcy that was published recently in the Washington Post makes this point very well.

I won't bother to comment on it, because the author himself does a masterful job of describing how his own financial problem developed, his bankruptcy filing, and the changes in his attitude about bankruptcy as he launches another new start-up company.

I commend it to anyone who is considering filing and still has doubts.

The author also makes some very good points about "boot-strap" financing a business and living debt-free.
