Why This Blog?

Remember the nineties, lots of layoffs and the chorus sang time to start your own business. Time to make some money.

The practice of a small business requires the necessity of acquiring skills, doing a multitude of tasks (some you are uncomfortable with), feeling like a money whore (when you do business to pay the rent) and recognizing your own courage as you step through the minefield of self employment.

The purpose of this blog is too provide a written narrative of my process of securing business inorder to pay the rent. I will detail my successes and failures with the hope I can pass along my learning to another business person.

I hope I will be able to provide perspective, ideas or insight to other small business persons as they manage and grown their businesses.

I have experience. I am seasoned in the areas of sales and marketing. I am not a gunho guy. I tend to be too analytical and too cynical for my own good. Am I infallible, no. I suspect some people will be critical of my efforts.

What wisdom will I impart...time will tell.
