Rick,

Thanks for the post. I think entrepreneurs have a lot of different ways of looking at funding. I'm not certain whether entrepreneurs seeking outside funding should look for less money, though certainly bootstrappers would argue for trying to do more with less. On business plans, I guess it's a question of what constitutes a plan. I suspect few entrepreneurs go into a business without any clue of their end goal. On the other hand, overly elaborate planning should not take the place of action.
