Owning a business is not beyond anyone's reach. You just need some vision and a business plan. To survive and thrive you obviously need more though. This is a motivational article.

Loads of good information. I launched my business on November 27th, 2010 so I am still a NEWBIE :-D! Gotta lot to learn and I really appreciate the wealth of information you are making available. My Aha moment today after reading this article came when I read the "Shipping Materials - Free" section. WOW - I didn't know that! Headed to the USPS website as soon as I finish here. I've been buying shipping materials at Wal-mart :-O! Anyway, Thanks again for what you are doing! Have a fantastic day! Much Love & Peace! Hi Steve,

Instead we decided to take a bank loan to buy an existing company 3 years ago. It's been rough to say the least. I should have gone with my gut feeling and went online instead. I see many bricks and mortar businesses going Out-of-business on my street alone. It's sad because I know these companies probably invested more than I did. Luckily I did have more internet marketing knowledge, and we are surviving the storm. E-commerce is picking up since we trashed the old site with a new one. And videos help to add personality to your business. Thanks for the post - more people should know. It will save them money and headaches.

I see there are web design company who does it for $600-$1000, do you think you can do it by yourself? have not see your online store yet, can you tell the web address? tahnks.
