Taxes are a cost of doing business and should be viewed in that context. If you make a reasonable attempt to follow the rules, most domestic tax authorities are reasonable. If you ignore the rules, or go to extremes to avoid taxes, the results can be either expensive or just plain painful.
Entrepreneurs need to know there are essentially four types of domestic taxes: income, payroll, sales & use and property. Foreign jurisdictions may also impose value added, consumption and withholding taxes.

No. But it’s a lot harder to succeed without one. If your website relies on key technology, it’s really difficult to get off the ground unless one of the founders understands the technology inside and out. If you’re relying on a contractor, employee or friend to help you out, it may wind up halfway done. The reason is that the effort required to build and launch a successful Web 2.0 startup is so great that no one but a dedicated founder typically lives up to the challenge.

I find that many startup CEOs carry around – but may not verbalize – a definition of marketing as one or more of the following:

Printing snazzy brochures, business plans, operating plans, marketing plans and all those other plans you need for your fund raising efforts chews up a lot of ink. And every time you visit a new potential investor, you have to print more! As a result, one of the biggest items on any entrepreneur’s credit card is printer ink.
