MEET TIM BARRY

Who says Chicago's tech scene has no entrepreneurial spirit? Tim Barry, a 29-year-old former consultant, has started EVO Knowledge, a Web-based business education company, from his "home office" -- a bedroom in his Lincoln Park apartment. Though the odds are against him, Tim is determined to make the business work. For 12 weeks, he'll seek your advice on a variety of business topics. You'll get a chance to show your wit and learn the mechanics of getting a start-up off the ground. With your help, EVO Knowledge may become the first start-up that Chicago built -- and you'll profit from the experience. Read more about Tim Barry and his company.

Tim Barry wants your advice - although he may not always use it. This is where we'll pose the question of the week. Go to this week's question.

	Stop! It's the law In this section, a panel of Chicago attorneys will remind Tim - and you - of legal issues that need to be considered when building a business.
	Image is everything A group of public relations and marketing professionals will weigh in each week with the inside scoop on ways to sell yourself - and others - on your business.
	We feel your pain Ah, those who have gone before. What have they learned? We'll provide insight from chief executives who have soared to the top or who have crashed and burned.
	It's your turn Now it's your chance to show what you know. Log in your response on our message boards. Be thoughtful. Be creative. Be constructive. You never know who's watching.
	The Chosen Ones Each week, we'll feature the most insightful comments from our readers, and you can dazzle us with your brilliance too.

Our Diary of a Start-up will run for 12 weeks. Watch this area for easy access to previous segments of the series, for breaking news about EVO Knowledge - and for Tim's reaction to your advice.

We want to know what you're thinking - and so does everyone else. On each week's question page, this space will feature a poll related to the week's topic. Go to this week's topic page.
