Ran across this.  I thought it was a great read.  Also there's a fairly entertaining thread over at Bogleheads that you might want to check out...

That was a really good article. I had a very entrepreneurial parent that did a lot of similar things for me. Having that parental perspective of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps really changed the way I think about money, work and life. Even if not every business is successful, I think that starting, or attempting to start your own business is an essential learning experience.
