Do you ask these questions because deep down you think you’ve got what it takes? Do you ask these questions because deep down you know you’re a manager not an entrepreneur?

If you want the answers then Bo Peabody has them. But he learned them the hard way, doing it all for himself, from the ground up. He didn’t go to business school and he hadn’t worked as a consultant.

As a 1 9-year-old student, Peabody started an Internet business, Tripod Inc., with a couple of colleagues that provided tools so anyone could build a website. At the height of the dot.com boom he sold out to Lycos for nearly $60 million. Was he lucky or smart?
