We know that it takes time to digest, and we have to go through several courses to get to dessert. The dessert does not come first. One course builds upon other, till you get to end, however, this also allows us to savor our success. Going through courses also allows us to take a good long look at things, so if we need to add a piece or entrée (make small or big adjustments), we can do so immediately.

If you want to run a successful business on or off web, remember your business is not fast food, but rather a nice long leisurely meal. Take time to digest it, and savor it over several courses, and your just desserts will be realized in end, but dessert does not come first.

The library is a good source, so are publications you subscribe to. Many times back of publications list networking and support groups. Many of national organizations have local chapters, so fees are fairly low, and you are becoming part of a nationwide organization, which, if they are flexible, gives you a variety of individuals to contact. Remember our discussion about Web. Many of these individuals are using it, so rather than a phone call you can e-mail one another.
