In the future, I may experience many challenges, headaches, failures, and the gut-wrenching experiences entrepreneurs know very well.

Any favorite business motivational TED talks, or articles from entrepreneurs like Robert KiyosakiVideos on YouTube are great for some of my younger relatives.  

Best of luck and keep coming here for great information from a strong community of entrepreneurs.

I am a CPA by trait, and an entrepreneur by nature.

@Carson M.I defiantly don't know as much as these guys do about getting a loan, but you may be at risk with Uncle Sam for not claiming your landscaping income on your tax returns.Even though you may not have been able to legally register a business with the State of Michigan, it doesn't mean the state and feds don't want your tax dollars.Since you are an entrepreneur at heart, I would suggest possibly amending your returns to report the income.

I was an entrepreneur before returning back to school here (also did undergrad here).

Also good by Frank: "10 Commandments for Real Estate Investors" (http://amzn.to/15ikXL0) I reread this book (it's very short and to the point) five or six times a year.If there's still room in your stocking I would add these two, both great reads:"Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur: What It Takes to Win in High-Stakes Commercial Real Estate" by Jack Randel (http://amzn.to/17mJU5j)"Creating and Growing Real Estate Wealth: The 4 Stages to a Lifetime of Success" by William J.
