The Basics

So, I've just done dressing up the BLOG. So, I'm back.
I can appreciate the simple things in life, but look forward to making this a very profitable venture. So any comments, links, or other assistance is welcomed.

Now my current considerations are:

• Whether to continue my membership at a business incubator... Frankly I don't have a regular or stable income yet. So is it worth it?
• Hire Purchase? I know I need a few basic items like a printer, but I don't own one.. yet.. is hire purchase practical.
• Now this is a biggie. Smart Phones are the norm now. My mobile well, lets just say that it allows me to communicate. But should I invest in a smart phone? I only have a desktop... no plans for the mobile versions any time soon tho
  
• I have had bad experiences where partnerships are concerned. But I know I have weak areas, and would appreciate a partner to offer supplemental services and support. But should I just get training and development? Or keep looking for that right Business Relationship?
• How to effectively, efficiently, and pro-actively promote my business

Overtime, my decisions will become obvious as the evolution continues. But those are some of the critical ones.

Now what was the critical motivation for the BLOG?

Well, for much of the night I was scouring the net for any other at-home-business option, with limited startup (yep, I'm broke) but kept getting links to sites i didn't trust or seemed to scams.I got pretty annoyed, and stumped. I had a personal blog and considered posting my frustrations there.. but then somewhere along the line I decided to start a separate blog to share my experiences in the professional world... and well, here we are.

I'm terrible at sales, which I think is reflecting in my inability to sell myself. I'm a hard worker.. overworker, workaholic for sure.... but just haven't quite mastered the art of selling and retailing. My Herbal Life investment isn't going anywhere right now. and that was a major investment for me.

Really, immediately I need a few clients to maintain a positive cash flow. What am I good @?

• B.Sc. in Food and Beverage Management with experience @ the Supervisory and Managerial positions from Fast Food, to Fine Dining And 5-star Hotels
• 4 Years Experience in Event Planning and Production on an Executive Level (or contractually) as large as 25 000 patrons with a multimillion dollar budget. Also small scale and private/public functions
• I am a perfectionist... with a keen eye for detail. Administration and general operation management is a major skill of mine. So, over the years I've been able to get a project or two where this skill is helpful.

Now, a couple of these jobs ran concurrently (remember: workaholic). Therefore, despite my youth, I do have a wealth oh experience and knowledge. But it was usually through referrals, or by chance that some projects came up. Kinda ad hoc.

Now I need consistency in jobs and projects.

Am I spreading my net too wide? i'll know soon enough.
