		<description><![CDATA[Every year in the U.S., 4 million babies are born and 2.4 million people die. Every year, over 600,000 business are born and 400,000 die. It's a natural cycle as the markets and consumers need a business for a while and then they no longer need it. There really isn't any timing to it! Remember watching a child trying to jump into a double-jump-rope held by two people? They watch it for several seconds, trying to time their first jump into the ropes so they can stay in. I see new entrepreneur-wanna-bees acting the same way! There really isn't any timing that I would suggest is healthy. If you are ready now, by the time the economy changes, you may not be!   Historically, the best businesses are started during recessions.  Go with what you know on the above list of entrepreneurial symptoms and let's talk more about the why/why not.]]></description>
