As you can imagine the content set off quite a maelstrom here in Silicon Valley when it first came out.<br /> Like you, I sit on both sides of this table. I am fully aware of the struggles of women in the workplace and applaud the author's willingness to say the things that need to be said. <br /> Yet I get insulted that the stay at home (volunteer) mom gets no respect. I feel that there are just as many (emotional and monetary) sacrifices made, and that the job is equally as difficult. <br /> I find myself wondering if there will ever come a day when women are truly valued for what we accomplish in all aspects of our lives. I wonder if things will ever get easier for our daughters and the generations of women to follow?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15244155810462591987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662718797816414315.post-62241822053671171992012-09-30T01:31:40.672-05:002012-09-30T01:31:40.672-05:00Arranging working capital is one of the major obst...Arranging working capital is one of the major obstacles for most of the businesses to stand it quite perfectly and on a long term basis. In this regard, only the financial professionals are the first and foremost option to run any business successfully and get more backup in any type of financial crisis. <br /><br />However, it is very difficult for non professionals to handle such type of problems within their small as well as large scale business. There are various factors that need to examine while offering more assistance and support to any business. Percentage of capital is also varying from small and large scale business and risk as well. <br /><br /><a title="http://www.globelend.com/small-business-tips/" href="http://www.globelend.com/small-business-tips/" rel="nofollow">http://www.globelend.com/small-business-tips/</a>Firozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15539467425801181795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662718797816414315.post-55340489430415289372011-10-14T16:22:13.329-05:002011-10-14T16:22:13.329-05:00Wyn,

Is it for the independence or some other reason? <BR/> <BR/>Before you start or buy a business, I urge you to spend some time thinking with pen and paper in hand. Answer these questions:<BR/>What am I passionate about?<BR/>What do I love doing?<BR/>Is there something I've always wanted to do?<BR/>Do I see a need in the marketplace for the product or service I want to make or sell?<BR/>Can I make enough money doing what I want to do?<BR/>Do you have enough experience in that field to be able to make a success?<BR/>What business experience do you have?<BR/>Can you apply this experience to your business?<BR/>What jobs will you need to farm out to others?<BR/> <BR/>After you've answered these questions, you can talk to the local chamber of commerce about your interests. They may have ideas for you. Go online and read trade websites and trade publications in the field you're interested in. Go to trade shows. Visit businesses like the one you want. Talk to the owners. (They may be looking for a buyer, or they may have great advice for you.)<BR/>Read Inc. Magazine. <BR/>In other words, do your homework. <BR/> <BR/>Right now, I'm writing a series of tips about starting a business. Tune in everyday for the next tip.<BR/> <BR/>Good luck.Wyn Lydeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12833402565110181014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662718797816414315.post-54782832666305725752008-08-13T10:22:00.000-05:002008-08-13T10:22:00.000-05:00@Amy -- I've been told that while angel investing ...@Amy -- I've been told that while angel investing is a great way to earn capital, it can get very messy and complicated. I'd believe this since you're answering to a single person instead of a bank with thousands of accounts. Anyway, not to deter you from looking into it, I suggest looking into your local small business groups. They might be able to assist you.<BR/><BR/>I also recommend checking out <A HREF="http://www.biztrader.com" REL="nofollow">BizTrader.com</A>, which is an online global marketplace where you can invest in, buy, and sell a business. You can also find a lender, which makes everything easier because it is a good place to find a business on the Internet.

Can you fill it?<BR/><BR/>To buy a business is a bit different. You could invest in a start-up that you believe in and become a hands-on manager, using your special skills. You can find businesses at local venture fairs.<BR/><BR/>There are also franchise fairs and business brokers. If you get involved with either of those, get yourself a good business lawyer and do lots of research and ask lots of questions.<BR/><BR/>Consultants like me can coach you through the process.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments.<BR/><BR/>UpstartWynWyn Lydeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12833402565110181014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662718797816414315.post-87361271714307505612008-07-21T16:28:00.000-05:002008-07-21T16:28:00.000-05:00That's awesome that they applied your class and we...That's awesome that they applied your class and went out there to start a business.

I agree with you that Hillary's plan will not work. <BR/><BR/>I personally believe that insurance companies should be the ones making the changes - not the government. Capitalism should work for insurance just like everything else. They should start to offer better plans, and as they do that more people will purchase those plans. I don't know exactly - obviously! <BR/><BR/>I just don't want to give the government any more money - or control - over the healthcare system. I think other countries like France and Canada have proven that that can be disastrous and complicated.<BR/><BR/>Just my opinion, though!
