Today is the first day of classes for me here at Belmont University. I love the rhythm of the academic calendar. The start of a new academic year offers a sense of renewal. But, there is something special about this one.

As those of you who are regulars readers know, 2010 has not been the best of years for me personally. Early in the year, my wife and I lost our oldest dog Keb, who died much too young at the age of eight. Soon came the loss of my father to a stroke, which happened at the same time as our daughter and her husband had been flooded out of their home in the Great Nashville Flood of 2010.

While life seems to be getting back to normal, we can't help but being haunted by the ghost of "what's next?"

So the fresh start that comes with every fall semester is particularly welcomed this year.

The fresh start is also exciting to me as after many years of teaching entrepreneurs, I am in the middle of a renaissance in how I help my students learn about planning for their entrepreneurial ventures.
