My initial reason for joining this community was the same as one of yours -- to try to post responses that would help somebody. I'm currently rebuilding from a summer tornado and flooding, managing a difficult client project, and dealing with a serious family illness. Because each of those things requires me to "be there" at certain times (and because I have to travel between the three), I can't take on as much training or consulting work as I'd like right now. These forums allow me to do what I do, whenever I can, from wherever I have to be, without obligation. Now that I've been on board for about a month, the secondary reasons are emerging: I've learned things here, I've met some sharp people, and I've been reminded more than once to count my blessings (because a lot of business owners have bigger problems than I do).

We can always learn experiences from others, and share our own.

I am glad to help in this community if I can. There are some great information for business starters, I think learning from this forum can help a lot.

I found fun to participate in this community

Need some gifts for Christmas, come to visit our site

There is a story in today's Wall Street Journal, MARKETPLACE section
for small business called "Entrepreneurial Therapy" , A forum - a type of
professional group therapy. This community forum is like therapy to me.

I spend time on communities to gain quick acess to information and questions from a trusted group of people. I think business owners can learn alot from one another, even if they are in differnet businesses. We could all benefit from some time saving tips and aviodance of pitfalls. Thanks for all of the information shared.

I feel that the forum is kind of like a sounding board. All of ideas and questions get put out so everyone can see and comment on them. I learn things from how other businesses operate and what others are doing.

I also like that you don't have to be somewhere at a certain time to network. I can do this on my schedule.
