Thank you so much for the good wishes and for all the comments except the man thing. FWI (1 and 2), yours truly, is a lady, thank you very much - in every good way that word can be taken.....

And yes well I agree.....LOLOLOL.....and with God’s help we may very well be hiring many more than 49 employees in no time flat....but who knows?

God knows and He is my real business partner.

Thanks again for the good wishes. Part of my vision involves going into some of Satan’s very sickening strongholds and smashing them to smithereens......so we’ll see about that too! (Think about my name).

I had bought a new American Flag recently and my nephew hung it out for me just in time for Memorial Day - it is beautiful and I have seen many American flags out and about in my area of NC (Raleigh - Cary area). All just beautiful!

Obama brings out the real lovers of our country!!!! Just to spite him!!!

Hi there - thanks for the info in the article - did not know the well was an Obama nightmare from start to finish.

The blame Bush game is totally overdone and O V E R!

Nice to know.

Blessings to you!

Pay pal. Hmm. Well that works for an online business. Mine won’t be - mostly will be on locale.

Service, not product.

However, it could develop into a few product offerings online....so will keep that in mind.

Thank you and blessings on your ventures!!!

I see. Well when the “revolution” happens this year - 2010 - that Healthcare nightmare will be revoked, I hope....and I won’t be getting anywhere near 49 employees before then...but I appreciate the info - did not know that.

Yes to both - thank you then!!!!

Well - I can have checks only if I have a “check clearing” device - IMHO. (It verifies the checks are good).

Good advice - won’t take Amex.

Yes permits, licenses, space rental. Thanks for the advice on the lease agreements!!! Will definitely have another pair or two of eyes to look over these.

God bless you in your venture and thanks for your advice for mine!

Thank u = yes learned about SCORE today - planning to make use of that service asap.

Free service is always welcome.

Plan to have fun - already doing so!!!!!

It’s all good!

Thank you - have incorporated and want to be a debt free business if at all possible. Planning to raise capital through penny stock offering. Everyone I discuss my vision with likes it...well with a few exceptions but very few.

Not going to discuss it here for the world to see - not yet. The time will come.

All so good points of advice will freepmail this to myself.

When I said cash on the barrel head I meant pay as you go business. I may not accept credit cards only debit cards.

Or cash. Or personal checks (possibly).

But will have a check clearing service - as I did in a small business I once was the office manager for.

I have over 15 year experience managing a small business so I know a little bit about this end of things.

Just never started one before.....or owned one.

Am following a dream/vision so who knows where it will go....only God knows. And He is my business partner.

So it’s all good.

(And by the way He is scrupulously honest and so am I)...so I get the part about having people I can trust handle the money - so that would be me to start.

I am taking some small business ownership / management courses at local tech college also.

And the SCORE idea - free help - is one I am also getting ready to do.

Appreciate ALL the advice!!!!!

Like what you say - this is a cash in the barrel head business.

Actually it’s only been about nine months I think. Been trying to retire!!! It’s hard work when others don’t want you to do that!

Wow - never thought of that advice so thank you very much. Now how to find someone like that nearby?

LOL - because it’s so easily hacked on windows?

This is a startup but I want to offer penny stock in my ventre. Is that an outrageous suggestion at this point?

no not mathnasium

VERY GOOD ADVICE AND MUCH APPRECIATED - all of it - writing it down - sort of. (copy and paste of course).

Thank you. Educating children - prek to start. but for profit. Much bigger vision after that.

Already incorporated. Knew to do that much. Got wise counsel.

Mine is an LLC also. Gotcha - keeping every record of every penny spent so far - all mgo (money going out) so far.

Well - agree.
