      <description>Dear ScubaDive,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have been in the scuba business for over 30 years. I presently have a retail scuba operation in Southern California. There are many pit falls associated with this business however it can be rewarding and somewhat profitable if done correctly. Most people do it for the love of the sport and are people oriented people. Please note you will not get rich in this line of work however  you can make a living and it beats corporate life. One big mistake people typically make is going into this venture under capitalized. Will you be starting this business from the ground up or will you be buying an existing operation? Will you have boats and a retail operation that teaches and sells equipment? Or will you have a resort that caters to divers who are already certified?&lt;br /&gt;

An effective marketing and advertising campaign and strategy along with exceptional customer service are your tools for a successful business.  Find out what your prospective customers like and offer it.  Do customer appreciation from time to time.  Do tasters for the smoothies, promote offers, coupons are great promo tools too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Warm regards,&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>Hello to all, in response to a request to an introduction because I just joined the forum, I am actually a full time employee in the hi tech field and I have been running a small business part time in the "Home Storage" industry in Texas.  I relocated to Texas and quickly discovered that homes down here lack storage space, so I became involved, by mistake I might add, in the overhead storage industry.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's very difficult holding down a full time job and trying to grow a business part time, but we're going on year 4 now, and still working the kinks out.  Has anyone else had success going this route for starting up a business...?</description>

      <description>For the smoothie industry....I would suggest looking into &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/interstitial-page.jspa?businessUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.euphoriasmoothies.com%2Fconfidential%2F&amp;referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com"&gt;http://www.euphoriasmoothies.com/confidential/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are not affiliated with these guys in any way...but...they have a store  in Plano, Tx and we have visited it a few times....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any smoothie business is not going to make you a millionaire...unless you've got several stores...but this seems like a good opp for anyone interested in the industry.</description>
