I started my first business full time 2002 (electrical contractor). And my second one 2 years ago (genral contractor) and will not look back. It feels good knowing you are not going to be layed off unless you want too. A friend of mine got me into a networking group called BNI
(business networking inc) when I started 2002. It was a good thing to start building a client list. It is not for everyone, but I would recommend it to anyone starting out for at least two years (It does not have to be BNI, just a networking group). I did approx $95,000 the two years I was in the group. I,m not apart of a networking group now, but I have learned so much from the group, I do my own networking now. Good luck and If you want to pm myself and I would love to share with you my failures so you don't.
