Weedott.com is helping us understand social networking. Amy Jantzer and her friend Matt put on a presentation at the library on Monday. I learned many things. Still confused on somethings but I am work on them. I recommend going to the website. They plan to put on more seminars. The one I went to was only 1 hour. The future ones will be 3 hours. Check it out!

Going in business for yourself

We are in a trend of people going to the unemployment lines. Many of these laid off or downsized people are going into business for themselves. The American Dream to own your own business. Are you one of those?
If you are going this route. Do your homework. A small business owner not only has to handle the expertise of the business but also the administration of it. This means you have to learn the Accounting, Marketing, Advertising, Personnel, and all aspects of the business. There are government and private sources to turn to for help. I have some for the Orlando Area on my website for downloading (www.CB4UBookkeeping.com).
Are you going to open a Franchise business. That means you will get some help from the Franchise Corporate. But look at the things they require in their agreements. Have a Business Brokerage get involved. They know the pitfalls and evade them. Corporate Investment International in Orlando is a reputable firm I recommend in this area.
Research upfront will aid your success later
