Looking for Angels?

Written by Sue Lewis


Don't haverepparttar money to start your business? Then, maybe an angel will come to your rescue.

Angel investors will provide capital for new businesses and are particularly beneficial for those entrepreneurs who need small amounts of start-up money. If you need a few thousand dollars, you aren't attractive to venture capitalists but angels will listen to your proposal.

Your company needs to be a fast grower to attract angels. Angels are looking for investment opportunities that will provide a good return and they will take personal interest in you and your business. If you can offer a better return on their money than more typical investments, your business will be very attractive to angels.

To succeed in getting angel financing, you will need a top-notch business plan and a polished oral presentation. An angel will look at your idea carefully, but will also look at you and your passion. If you aren't excited about your business, don't expect an angel to be thrilled either.

A Hard Lesson Learned ....

Written by Diane Hughes


Are you like me? I like to handle things on my own so I don't even THINK about incorporating help with anything I am working on ... especially my business as a whole.

Well, I learned something new recently. It was a HORRIBLE experience that actually turned out forrepparttar better. Let me tell you my story:

I have a team of about 2000 associates. Since all my sites are hosted at Host4Profit except forrepparttar 106897 site that their websites are hosted on, I decided to transfer everything over. Well, I have transferred many sites before so I knew how it worked. I knew I would get access to Host4Profit before transferring with my registrar and that all I had to do was upload everything over torepparttar 106898 new host while my old host was still active. This would make a seamless transfer. No one would ever know anything happened ...

To make a long story short, it didn't turn out to be as seamless as I hoped and things were a little messed up for about a day. Needless to say, I received TONS of emails!

"What happened?!" "Where did you go?!" "Give me my money back!" "Hello? Are you there?"

Well, I couldn't ANSWER these emails because I was busy gettingrepparttar 106899 transfer problem fixed. This caused most of them to email me a SECOND time, therefore doublingrepparttar 106900 amount of emails sitting in my email box! Stress was building as I worked to getrepparttar 106901 problem fixed ....
