Marisa Albertin Anyone who is concerned about their business taking a long time to succeed, and considering wanthing to give up, read the blog "Is your Blog a Big Whiny Baby"? One of the best blogs I have read in a very long time, and as a Businesss Consultant I recommend it to everyone to read... Gives you some food for thought... Go on read it, and dont be scared....

Both really apt metaphors for nurturing and sticking with your blog through the tough early times. I'm just about to start yet another blog, so maybe this time I'll be able to keep it fed and happy. ;^)

Stanley Lee In your opinion, do you think recruiting a new member for a small team resembling those making up the "start-up" companies is equivalent in concept of a typical firm's HR and technical teams recruiting a new employee? Also great to hear your explanations. Thanks.

Dale Beermann: @Stanley re: the likability factor. Good question. If you don't get along, it doesn't matter what your working towards, things will fall apart. ...More@Stanley re: the likability factor. Good question. If you don't get along, it doesn't matter what your working towards, things will fall apart. I've seen it happen myself.

Carol Harris: that is so true, if you don't get along, no ideas will flourish, no flourish, no growth.

Nidal There is always a payoff between gainnig business experience in a field before starting a business or starting right ahead. i think whats important is developping the skills you need for your business, while some of those skills will come through working for someone else. Allot of it will come through trial and error and life experiences. What do you guys think about the topic? Is "business experience" necessary?

I have learned two costly lessons already. Although I am a quick study, I shall never forget those lessons.

@Carol, What were those lessons exactly?
@ Ted, I face this problem at the moment, i went into a field and realized that Its not the one for me, I am in it just to get some "professional" experience, I have decided to go into a different field. even though the professional experience has nothing to do whith the businesses i plan to start, and i see no value of such experience. Times are tough, and the luxury of being picky about where i would work does not exist at the moment.

however, surprisingly, Working for someone else has given me time to think about my plans for the future, and research thoroughtly the ideas i want to develop.

Carol Harris I started my blog, "Designs for You" not so long ago, and have (met) some of the neatest people. It keeps me in the loop as it were and hopefully will help my business grow. So, if you need a home stager in Buffalo, NY call me, or rather email me (that is a bit safer) at nygirl47@aol.com http://wwwbeenblogged.blogspot.com/
