Happy Holidays

As 2007 comes to a close I would like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season and a very happy and prosperous New Year.

I would also like to say that without dreams we would have nothing. Dreams are what we see all around us. If we dream it, it can be accomplished. If we feel the desire, we can achieve anything.

These are just a few of my favorite great dreamers: Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Richard Branson, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Walt Disney, Benjamin Franklin, and Henry Ford. There are many, many more.

Funding A New Business

So you're thinking about creating a business of your own. A business which you enjoy doing and where you can be your own boss. There is a lot to think about and many preperations to make:

*type of business*type of products*location*brick and mortar or online business*customer service*shipping/Receiving*feasibility studies*number of employees*customer base*capital (How much will be required and where is it coming from?*advertising*etc., etc.
I went through the same thing. Everyone does when they decide they are tired of exchanging a period of time for a paycheck. It's called being an entreprenuer. Taking a chance it will all come together and you will become successful.

There are a lot of statistics around which suggest between 70% to 80% of new businesses will fail in their first five years. A lot does depend on the industry and other varying factors, but the indication is that the odds are against you.

Capital funding seems to be the biggest headache for most small businesses. Especially for getting through slow periods.
There is a way to find the capital you need without having to use banks and other lending sources. Raise the funds yourself! No loans to repay. Ever!
