Good comments about the section title... interesting thoughts about the overall name of the project... all topics the APP team will be considering and discussing at the January 2014 meeting... keep up the great work you guys are doing!

Three subsections: marketing, finance, practice management.
Recently added: marketing, guerrilla, marketing and sales, entrepreneurial thinking, branding, brand integrity, financial management, the client's point of view.

Subject and section Titles:
The Starting your Own Firm" group recommends the APP Section title “Starting your own Firm” remain unchanged. The group considered an alternate title "Entrepreneurial Practice" and determined that it would not encompass broadest understanding of what is involved in starting and sustaining practice. We recommend that the idea of "Entrepreneurial Spirit" should rather be featured as an important part of approaching firm start up.
David Del Vecchio recommended the Project title “APP” January 2013 and Steve Burns (our sponsor) independently came to recommend the same title. We feel that it be permanently adopted as the name of the Application, website browser.
