I know there are a lot of people here who have run their own business, so do you have any general advice? Anything pitfalls to avoid? |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

But in your case? Yes, I do have one piece of serious advice. Do a thorough business plan. Determine, based on that cold-eyed plan, whether you can reliably make enough money in this enterprise to make it worthwhile. Also determine what the expected longevity of such a business is. Even if you decide not to enter this business, or you decide it is a hobby-sideline business secondary to another career, you will have learned a whole lot about what is involved in starting a real business. |

Neither one of them know what they're talking about. Listen and remit checks only to me. |

That is true. Bikers are now longer poor. Those guys can't afford Harleys. It's a well off demographic. |
