Don't wait. Contact the "man" in charge, and ask him what can be done to remedy the situation. If you can still make a little money...or break even, and save face, then do what it takes. If his demands go beyond what you originally quoted in the first place, then politely explain the...

Pardon my :thread Jon...my apologies. I guess I thought it was more a "feasibiity" question as to whether or not a venture like that would pan out. Given the right conditions, I think it would be helpful. After looking further through MIT's stuff, I can see major gaps between a few...

Not to steal your thunder, but I did a Google search for "Business Education Portal" and found this at the top of the list. 1. MIT OpenCourseWare - Sloan School of Management (mit.edu) Undergraduate Business Courses Graduate Business Courses MIT OpenCourseWare might be the next best...

The ones I've seen have circus or old western fonts. Usually, there are at least one or two of these with your default Windows fonts. JB

I .pdf all my job emails and file them in the customer's folder. JB

Shouldn't there be an apostrophe in Don's name?

Ditto to Fred's statement. What are you using for software? Jim

Nothing that hasn't already been said, but as cheap as they are, you really can't afford to be without one with all your stuff backed up on it. Shame on somebody who doesn't. Ditto...it's saved my hiney more than once. I'd be kinda freaked out if I didn't have one, or two, or three, or...

How un-cultured can you be? This was a last-minute addition to the Olympic summer games...outhouse bowling (or is that bowel-ing?)...and you thought curling was a challenge. JB

I wonder if that counted as a hole-in-one?

Follow the advice directly above this post and get rid of this customer. Do not sign an agreement that prohibits you from doing work for "his" customers, and do not go after his customers. If his customers come to you, then there's nothing he can do about it. Once they come to you, then...

You work way too hard. I trained my dog to push the button for me, collect the cash, and then put it in the hole in the back yard. He can't answer the telephone as of yet, but when he learns, I'm moving to the Bahama's and letting him take over. JB

I see three very difficult "strikes" against you: #1 Very expensive proposition at $50K...that's a lot of milk money. Will this be borrowed? #2 Your indecision about this venture ("can the whole idea") coupled with the need of further training. Hear me out...working for a year in some shops...

Good advice so far. If you still have the bug to get a business started from home, there are many opportunities with the sales of printed materials and ad specialties...wholesalers abound in this area so it should be easy to find a supplier. The drawback is that your competetion also has the...

Here's our stone & sign.

Take the idea, and make improvements as needed. I think it's a good way to literally drive customers to our businesses. Even if they don't buy, they'll be educated about what we do. Sooner or later, it will pay off...either from them or someone they've told. In addition to the above...

I've been toying with the idea, and how I can implement it into my marketing plan. I rent window display space in town but do not keep store hours there. I plan on putting the way points of my store front window display on a business cards with no other information...just the coodinates...
