Get your business finance on

Boostrapper’s done it again. This time they’ve listed The 100 Best Business Finance Posts of All Time, on everything from funding to spending to money management. Yeah, I’ve got a post on negotiating on the list, but I’d recommend it anyway. Some links I’m looking forward to reading:

• Why women entrepreneurs don’t get the financing they need
• 14 web-based invoicing tools to make sure you get paid
• The financial messiness of the entrepreneurial life
• 7 ways to earn more by working less
• Can you make $3,000 in one day?

You get the idea.

Note: Several of the links I clicked went to blogs with header art featuring career coach types rocking a spiffy business suit and an authoritative gaze looking out over crossed arms. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

It came from the conference room, part 2

Thanks, everyone, for sending in your best Meeting from Hell stories. Who knew there were so many drunk, stoned, vomiting, conniving, idea-snatching, lobotomized, obsessive compulsive, and three-blinks-shy-of-a-nervous-breakdown managers out there? The PayScale story I wanted them for will be out in November and I’ll link to it here once it’s live. If I decided to use your story, I sent you an email confirming as much. Meanwhile, congrats to Marie, who sent in a tale of a rubber chicken-wielding intoxicated client who used a meeting with her as an opportunity to do his personal car shopping. Complete with phone haggling! With a bunch of car dealerships!

Marie’s getting a signed copy of The Anti 9-to-5 Guide, but there are a couple dozen more where that came from. (Actually they’re in my office, and I’m looking to free up some shelf space.) If anyone wants one — $15 + $5 shipping = $20 US — email me and I’ll tell you how to send me some dough so that I can get you a copy.
