Re: What is Your Favorite Thing About Owning A Business? - [quote="freddyb45":1t3lpfi8]For me it's the fact that all the time and effort you put in is worth a lot more, due to it making you "business" more profitable. Working for yourself is also a positive, although employing people you can trust is quite different.[/quote:1t3lpfi8] I like this idea. Working for yourself means you are investing in your own future, not someone else's, although there is value in working for someone else first to gain experience and confidence. Working for yourself does not automatically mean success, fame and fortune. For most entrepreneurs, it takes much work and dedication to get to the point of financial success and comfort - sometimes years. But the benefit is, again, you know you are investing in yourself and building equity for your own future. GT :-]

Re: looking for partner - Partnerships in business can be tricky. Most partnerships fail. Here are a few points to ponder before starting a partnership: - Should have common goal and vision - Level of commitment in business - Expectations from business and each other. - Good sense of self-worth - Financial Position – Have a good experience in related business with strong financial standing I suggest you to go on Google type “Partnership Assessment form” and Partnership Assessment Tool” You find some good results. Further apart from this forum look into on social media and business sites.
Re: Has anyone used the SBA's Micro Loan program? - [quote="Kevin Lee":1gvayekb]Hi Barbara, Personally, I would prefer to just use my own money, and if I needed more, I would consider enlisting the help of a partner. I want to limit my risk and liabilities as much as possible.[/quote:1gvayekb] I disagree with the partnership advice. The only ship that wont sail is a partnership. Partnerships make business messy and complicated. If you need the funds to expand just expand slower. If you need the funds to stay open you need to look at your business plan a little more closely.
