(All entreprenurs are good project managers, but not all projec managers are necessarally successful entrepreneurs) As a follow up to Bill's comment, just look at how few entrepreneurs have been successful in the long term turning their ideas into long term, successful businesses. Most VC's end up forcing entrepreneurs to put in place "regular" management teams once the "baby" has been borm and is generating positive cash flows. BR, Dr. PDG, Jakarta Hi Josh,
