I also think I've got a lot of research to do, not so much about the business itself, but the resources and customers around here.Chatelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00964747724704627728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531431151221408467.post-21656068004829003792009-04-24T21:34:00.000-05:002009-04-24T21:34:00.000-05:00Hey, girl.

Everybody is saying "NO!" to overhead and a storefront. You just really don't need it! All you're really going to be selling is yourself, anyway!<br /><br />I think you'd be kick butt at this, you've got the personality, the savvy, and you're a pull That Janie Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17447630124016303483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531431151221408467.post-89986145539262484212009-04-23T21:32:00.000-05:002009-04-23T21:32:00.000-05:00Ok, I think I've talked myself out of it.

But I think I'll get another regular pay check for a while until I've made a dent in the idea.<br /><br />Your advice is duly noted, Twc. It's all good stuff, not to mention realistic.

It was, without a doubt, the smartest move I ever made. <br /><br />I was afraid that my clients wouldn't like that I didn't have an office nearby. I figured I'd get fired by most of them. So I made house calls.TWChttp://www.winecommonsewer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531431151221408467.post-20741158405784060342009-04-23T06:37:00.000-05:002009-04-23T06:37:00.000-05:00Good points, Twc.

I was just reading <A HREF="http://www.entrepreneur.com/technology/newsandtrends/article201342.html" REL="nofollow">an article</A> at Entrepreneur about low overhead being key in times like these. The Captain brought it up as well when we were brainstorming, but I kind of brushed it off.

It was very surreal and it ended up that nobody acknowledged anyone else. <br /><br />It is a lucrative marketThe Wine Commonsewerhttp://www.winecommonsewer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531431151221408467.post-86073945302101241932009-04-23T00:26:00.000-05:002009-04-23T00:26:00.000-05:00That's the longest blog post you ever made.That's the longest blog post you ever made.TWCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531431151221408467.post-58161625406119703482009-04-20T09:13:00.000-05:002009-04-20T09:13:00.000-05:00Thanks, John :)

Martin Short was my favorite in that movie :)<br /><br />Good question about why aren't there other planners here. I'm sure there are planners in the city, however I'm an hour away from there, and there are more rural areas and small towns here than there are cities, so I could see that being part of the issue.
