Faith ........ hhhmmm..... When we are hearing on the news that the government is leaning towards a consolidation of powers, and global economy.... that means that there is no faith that the American taxpayers will be able to pay back what America has "borrowed". No Faith.

And why should there be any faith? Health, Wealth, and Wisdom has replaced Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

IF..... (or should I say, when), the dollar(that exists because the government DECLARES it into existance) loses any value.... how would you want to be paid??....... Gold, maybe....?

And as for "good news" and "optimism"..... I'd give it all up, just to know what's true. Good news and optimism is government regulated too.... Just like your "government approved" eduction via Department of Education.

And, I've said too much already.... But... Really, there isn't much else going on, on this forum... I'm just responding with the first thing on the tip of my tongue.... It may not interest anyone.

Where is the Faith??, Welcome

How soon do you plan on opening your business??

Why don't you report more posts as inappropriate? Seems to me that venting here isn't really productive. You have an opportunity to be part of the solution - exercise your discretion wisely.

Be On-Purpose!

I don't vent. I state facts. If that is venting then you may need to rethink or re-acquaint yourself with the definition.

I DO report inappropriate posts, those that advertise illegal goods and those that show up under different user names and perform all manner of forum harassment.

Perhaps you need to be proactive as well, offering solutions instead of telling others what they need to do.

Oh and as far as being productive, I took a little break from my mobile app development.....

You will find in this forum that many threads become conversational, just as they would during an email or phone exchange. That does not mean we are 'off purpose'.

As you wish:

Where are all the sound,solid Young businsess people? I mean, i
understand that the economy is rough but seriously, i thought being an
enterpaneur was about making "magic" happen in any giving moment.

DIVA: There are not any SOLID young business people out there that I can see. All I see and hear is about young entrepreneurs who think they are the next Gates or Jobs and insist that everthing be handed to them on a silver platter. Business Plan??? Oh no I am 18 I don't need one just give me money and a reference to your investor. Making magic happen in any moment? Please magic takes sometimes years of hard work. Making the magic happen means waking up at 2AM worried about the AMEX bill or the fact that your software architect is working 18 hours a day and slave driving gthe rest of the team and the funding has run out.

Its like a parent that dosent clean up beacuse they're to much kids
around....Who is the one in control, here?The kids? ha! Sike..

DIVA: This makes no sense to me at all...I am wondering why it was included.....

Dont let the economy control your business

DIVA: Oh thats a rich one. When the people that OWE you money don't get paid and can't pay you. Giving this SAGE piece of advice with nothing to back it up except don't let the economy control your business??? Is this person SELF employed? I wonder.

Ther're people out their that can hold thier business up with "stick
glue and duck tape" and still generate their desired income...All i am
saying is where is the faith?

DIVA: Faith doesn't pay the bills, hard work and earning money pays the bills. Getting out of bed each day and looking for new business and keeping it going is what it's all about. Faith does not do a thing for you. I have faith that if I keep working like a field hand through this tough economy I will make it, thats where the FAITH IS.

There are a lot of wanna be business people that have no idea what it takes, no idea of the sacrifice, sleepless nights...jumping on airplanes on a moments notice...the hey dude biz types that want to know you but who could not provide a reference for a toddlers bicycle race.

NOTE: I bet all of your friends wish you would stop with the on purpose thing and I am sure you are sorry that I answered instead of just having a conversation. Trust me on this.

Hi Kevin,

I checked out your web site. It is a bit slow to load but certainly creates an exciting vibe with the flash presentation. For a guy who "doesn't know what he is doing" you seem to be doing a few things well. Can you give some further insight as to why you feel you are losing control of the business? Is it financial, personnel, and overwhelming amount of diverse tasks - what is it?

Chances are you are not delegating well or outsourcing tasks that others can do better and faster than you. Sounds like you are a hands on kinda guy with a strong work ethic. There's a pattern there with entrepreneurs where they feel like they have to be able to everything themselves. Find the areas of the business that are most annoying to you - have someone else do them. This will free you up and help you get back a measure of control.

By the way, I'm in the Orlando area. We're far apart but still in FL.

Be On-Purpose!

Kevin
