This is my very first community forum and I find it really helpful to read the questions and answers here. I have learned a lot from my visits. I find most of the members generous in their desire to help. I have positive feelings with the members sponsoring their own professions/business as well as giving advise on their fields of expertise or experience. This helps facilitate real time solutions should the need arise. Of course, there's still the need for due diligence in any undertaking.

Great question Ed.
You always spark a lot of thought in people.

I spend time on this community for two reasons.
1. To spread information, thoughts, and ideas to help new entrepreneurs starting out on their own.
2. To build additional contacts for clients/referrals based on my firms areas of expertise.

It has been great getting to know many of you.
We'll have fun in 2008. We're aleady planning our first SBOC Get Together.

If you want to "expose" yourself...
Post information about your venture in the "Business Classifieds."
Links are not often looked at if there is not a description with them.

It caught my attention when Bank of America advertised in on my personal home page. I checked it out and it appears to be of a much higher caliber than other forums.

I have come back today because I've found some people I can help and some interesting posts. I also find out very interested things from the questions posed.

I like helping people and since I have 23 years experience in so many financial and business fields, I might be able to help a few. That is the same reason I joined CEO Space. Also, being retired wasn't all it was cracked up to be for me.

I'm learning something new every day! Also, after time passes...you notice trends and re-occuring questions from the audience. It seems like a very supportive forum and there are many experts in different fields that help make it a great community.

Number one, one is never too old to learn something new. This is a great place to find new info and refreshing points of view. I'm 60 and I happy to say I still learn something new almost every day.

Number two: Helping others is a worthwhile endeaver. Something to be said for the value and reward
of feeling good about oneself at the end of the day. Plus, making friends and contacts never hurts--you never know when one of them might need your services one day, or vice-versa.

Number three: This might sound a little selfish, but I'll say it anyway. I've been in the merchant services (credit card processing) biz for many years. This is an industry with a terrible reputation earned as a result of a few very rotten apples ruining the entire barrel. Yet, many of these rotten apples continue to remain in business for the long term because generation after generation of new naive first-time entrepreneurs continue to fall for their scams. So I figure if I can provide these fledgling businesspeople with a little accurate truthful information to counter some of the baloney they might be hearing elsewhere, in some small way that is bound to benefit my industry and my company somewhere somehow along the line.
