      <title>It's a business, not a startup</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.siliconbeachhouse.com"&gt;Beachhouse&lt;/a&gt; has had a steady stream of visitors recently, that have been involved with startups. It has been interesting how &lt;a href="http://www.88miles.net" title="Simple Time Tracking"&gt;88 Miles&lt;/a&gt; is considered a &amp;ldquo;Startup&amp;rdquo; which hasn't really been sitting well with me &amp;mdash; 88 Miles is a product of &lt;a href="http://www.madpilot.com.au"&gt;MadPilot Productions&lt;/a&gt;, which isn't really a startup either.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well, &lt;a href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/997-start-a-business-not-a-startup"&gt;37 Signals&lt;/a&gt; has just run a blog post, that explains why I have been uneasy. I'm not running a startup &amp;mdash; I'm running a business. And I agree that people think in terms of startups, not businesses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So if you are running a startup, make sure you are running a business too.&lt;/p&gt;
