Are you thinking about starting a business this year? Don't shy away from a great business opportunity because of the election coming up in a couple weeks.

There is a great blog post on the TimeToStartup.com blog, sharing tips for starting a business and taking advantage of the election timing.

Are there any other worries about starting a business now?
