Small Business - August 2007

I wanted to get a feel for what people think is the most important "value" an advisory board brings to a small business. Also, would you pay to have someone facilitate advisory board meetings with fellow business owners?

I posted two items, they're both clothes. And wasn't sure how the whole shipping thing works. I think i put priority mail lg. envelope. flat rate @ $4.60. Is that right? Or is there something cheaper? Are the bubble envelopes free? I ordered some flat rate shipping boxes, small & medium.
Advice please!

I am planning on starting a hot dog stand. I wanted it to be somewhat permanent, like a small espresso stand. The thing is, I want to BUILD the actual stand, instead of paying through the teeth to buy an existing one through who-knows-where. Is there anyone that knows where I can find building plans for perhaps a similar structure? I was thinking about wood, but any type of plans would work. Any books, websites etc. would be VERY helpful. Thanks!!!

Hello all, I have been a mural painter off and on for a few years and have finally decided to commit myself full time to this occupation. I would like to incorporate other design elements, such as general faux finishes, finishes for furniture, and room design. I would like to incorporate the word designs into the name, or something similar. I'm an aquarius, so that means I'm quirky and I'd like a name that reflects my personality, yet is also professional and draws the client. Can you help me??? Many thanks for your time....peace

I said "No" for the box that said "have you been convicted of a crime or have a pending felony", but I had a Minor in posession of alcohol when I was 19 (i'm now 23). It was just a misdomeanor, but I always thought that check box didn't apply to misdomeanors.

They made me sign an authorization to do a background check, and I'm sure they'll see the MIP. Will they care, or do they only care about felonies... in general?

And I don't have the greatest credit (which is why I want a job, to rebuild it and actually have money) and I don't see why they need to look at my credit to determine whether I'm a worthy candidate.

In general, do most companies judge by these things, even if you have less-than-stellar credit and a small misdomeanor?

It is a 4 minute movie presentation (free to view), that describes a brand new way people will be making money from home using the internet.

You probably already do this, but you don't get paid for it. Well, why not get paid for it?

Have a look!
