Today might very well be the day that you do it. After all, you've been planning it for a long time. You're ready to ditch the job, dump the boss and start your own business. What's stopping you? It's not as if you're attached to your cubicle, despite its magnificent proximity to the vending machines. There's just that one nagging hurdle: You know nothing about starting a business. Well, nothing encouraging. You know that many fail (sure enough, about a third do in the first four years). And you know that becoming an entrepreneur costs a small fortune. That one, you'll be happy to hear, isn't necessarily true. Yes, you'll likely get your start-up money from savings and personal loans until you can win over funders with evidence of your success. But it won't take that much money. You probably already have all the technology you need at home—high-speed Internet, a computer, maybe even a nifty printer/fax/copier combo. You can rent almost anything else, from accounting help to

ng to tell him that his 63-year-old father had died suddenly. Then, weeks after Baran returned to school from his home in Santa Barbara, he had more unexpected news: a call informing him that he was the sole heir to his father's half-million-dollar 401(k). Stunned and upset, he barely registered a single detail from the conversation and had to call back to check the amount. "It didn't sink in," recalls Baran, 37. "I had no idea he'd saved that much." After all, Baran hadn't grown up rich. His father worked as a meter reader for an electric company for 35 years and raised his family in a modest 1,900-square-foot three-bedroom home near the University of California at Santa Cruz. But an even bigger surprise was still to come. About a week later, his stepmother e-mailed to say that he'd also inherited his childhood home, now worth $850,000, with just $148,000 left on the mortgage. Over the phone, his wife, Erin Chrislock, read him the will that had just arrived in the mail. "It was very emotional," says Bara...
