My very first business...ever.

I was in my late twenties when I first went into business. I owned a graphic arts studio with a partner. Our company raked in its first $200 when I photographed a can of Rise Shaving Cream for a highly regarded ad agency. No, we didn't get ripped off. A round-trip airline ticket from New York to St. Louis cost $70 back then. Now, are you impressed?

Yeah, we were a couple of guys with a dream and no business plan. We were lucky. We had enough contacts to keep us so busy, almost a year went by before we sat down with a counselor and got our act together. We worked around the clock producing high quality sales literature and we got tons of cheers and kudos for our efforts. The problem was that we barely made a profit. Once we were shown how to manage our cash and where to spend it, we were like a totally new business inside of three months. It was magic.

Today, I eat and sleep daily, weekly and monthly planning ON TOP OF my long-range business plan. For example, I have a product in the works and it will be on the market in the next sixty days. My marketing plan is already in place and has been for the past six months, or longer. Since competition is heavy, I have a contingency plan. How do I know I need an alternate route for my business? By studying the competition and the market where I plan to promote my product.Compared to years gone by, there are a lot of so-called Internet marketers fighting for the same prize that you and I hope to claim.

The best way to get from here to the prize is by careful affiliations with top-notch marketing leaders. Right now, I believe Search Big Daddy is our next big winner. We recommend joing this organiztion to anyone seeking a business plan that works. We are new to the group; but I have no reason to be modest about our capabilities with this exciting new venture. Cheers to Stephen C. Rose!
