Small Business - July 2007

I know there are a lot of money making guides out there on the net, however recently I came across the one at http://www.aggregatefinance.com which shows a step-by-step guide on a proven technique. It was recently published in Entrepreneur Magazine too!

Looks like a real goer.

What are your views? Why can/can't we use a barter system anymore for goods and services we need? There is always someone out there who needs someone who can do what we can't. And we usually have some skill or item that they need! What are your opinions?

Why do people ask questions like..."Does anyone know of a Good home job?" and then report you when you tell them about yours, is it really SPAM if they ask?

Hi everyone,my mother & I opened a gift basket business, primarily home & internet based last year. While we have had some sales, it has not been enough to keep us going.Most of our supplies expired and we are out of money to try to keep going. While we bought enough supplies to make a nice variety of baskets, we didnt go completely overboard...or so we thought. We thought we were doing everything right but I guess not.We have talked to other owners on forums like this one and it seemed as if we were doing the same things.We marketed the business in local newspapers, attended a tradeshow (home tradeshow...maybe not the best type to attend?), did a couple radio ads, handed out promotional pieces at major events and walks, donated to other events, did presentations at real estate office, etc.We have even priced our baskets below what most business are asking for so I cant see the price being the problem.We took out about a $10,000 loan and its all gone and we barely made 1/4 back.

I have this dying urge in my soul to start 2 new businesses for myself. I am a medical student, i have little money. I am at the crossroads of deciding how to turn my life around financially. Should I just find a job working for someone else or should I go for my dreams and start my own business like I really desire! The only thing that drains my energy towards my goal of having my own business is the fact that I feel like I am so behind financially! I am just so un-happy financially! I need good advice! Help Me!

I keep insisting on giving them their change, but they say no and walk away with a smile. It's always small change, of course, but over the day, it builds up.

his two brothers partners. He didn't even ask me! I'm way pissed! I asked him if he was just going to give them a share for nothing he said yes. why wouldn't he. It isn't a big business one good client really but still!!!! His one brother CAN'T be trusted and has screwed my hubby over before at work and he still wants him to be partner. He doesn't know when he will do this but he said even if he can quit his job and work full time with our business and later wants them to be partners he will make them partners and not have them buy part of the company or anything just give them a share!! Is he stupid for doing this or am I being selfish for not wanting them part of our business? Please help!!
