Who else is starting a business (or wants to start a business)?

Question

Tell me about the business you are starting or want to start. Have you started yet? If so, how is it going? Why did you choose this business?

Answer 1

I love it when people ask about my business! I'm trying to get a PR Agency off the ground. I submited one proposal to an organization last month but I think it's going nowhere. Today I had a meeting with a second organization and, while the price was too high, I think we'll be able to wrork it out. I still don't have an official client but I think things should get rolling soon. After the New Year and everyone is back to full work weeks I'll start making phone calls to my contacts and trying to drum up more business.

I started by going to see the local Small Business Administration. There I was assisted in a very large way by a SCORE counselor who directed me through the process of writing my business plan. She was crucial in helping me think through all the details and presented very important questions which I would not have even considered on my own. I've learned that the process of writing the business plan is absolutely critical.

I choose PR because it is "in my wheelhouse," so to speak. I'm a pretty good writer and I have done work for non-profit organizations over the years promoting fundraisers and writing articles. I recently found myself out of work after the political candidate for whom I was working did not achieve election. I looked at my options and decided it was time I took my show to the masses. So far, not bad, but I'm still applying for real jobs too.

Answer 3

I am involved with a company that does network marketing. It's called USANA Health Sciences. Here is their website, so you can see what it's about. www.USANA.com

There are MANY network marketing companies in existence. Some are good and some are not. For this business to work, it needs two things: First, a quality product - without that, the bottom will eventually fall out. Secondly, a compensation plan that rewards harder worker, not just "people at the top". USANA meets both of these requirements.

Since vitamins are not drugs, they are not regulated by the FDA. Because of this, what it says on the label is often not what is in the bottle. USANA has voluntarily submitted to the FDA requirements of processing and quality of their products, and are listed in the PDR (Physician's Desk Reference). That means that what it says on the label is what's inside. Also, they do dissolve in you (many vitamins end up passing through you, often still in pill form!)

Early network marketing companies taught sponsoring as many people as possible, and some would make it, while most drop out. In USANA, a distributor's "front line" only has two people in it. Any others that he sponsors go under those people. I cannot make money until I'm helping those below me grow their business, and I don't necessarily make more than the people below me.

This company operates in a bunch of countries (USA, Australia, Japan, UK,New Zealand, Netherlands, Mexico, Korea, Hong Kong, Canada) and is going to start in Malaysia in 2007. Where are you? So far, my business is only in the USA, but will be in Mexico in January.

Let me know if you're interested. You can start a business center for a little less than $600, and most of that is vitamins that you'll be benefiting from anyhow. Or, if you'd like to try the vitamins yourself prior to deciding, we could do that.
