It’s a daunting enough decision to give up the stability of well-paid employment to start up a business the first time around.

But after hitting a dead end with your venture, it takes a special determination to wade back into the fray and give it another crack.

Meanwhile, mentor Fred Schebesta returns to talk domain names and we look at the start-up potential in focusing on consumers’ increasingly busy lives.
