    Paypal are .... (insert expletive)

    I have found using PayPal is like being in an abusive relationship. They do whatever they want - cheat, steal, etc. There are a few things to do when they close you down: 1. Setup a stealth paypal account. A new account that is not cannected in any way to teh old one. Different name, address...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I have been thinking about this topic and what uncomfortable thing I would today. I came back and see the topic mentions a weekly thing. One uncomfortable thing per week is not enough for me. I am a procrastinator and have become very good at putting things off. I need to do something...

    How did manage your 1st business phone?

    You are correct, there are tons of options. What do you want from the business phone? How many people work for you? Do you want scheduling on the line so you can have closed hours? Do you want different voice messages depending on time of day, weekends, etc? -edit- To answer your original...

    HOT! 
    I used to snow shovel when I was a kid. The best money was made in the apartment complexes. The commercial snow removal company would come in and plow the road surfaces. The snow removed from the roads/driveways would often end up against a tenant's car. We would come in and clear out the...

    Call a lawyer to start working on necessary licensing. It is the start of a long, expensive process so I have been putting it off.

    EXECUTION
