That depends on what kind of business you're going into, and how well you market your product. At least you already have something to sell! What is it by the way?
Oh, a couple of my college buddies and I decided to get into the web business. You know, your typical web solutions business. They are a dime a dozen! And we knew that we won't go anywhere being a typical company. So we SPECIALIZE. Sure, you can have your business say you can do EVERYTHING. But I think customers are more comfortable with businesses's who have specialization. Our "business" specializes in developing intranet applications for medical institutions, especially for pharmacies. P.S. My friends also had good financial banking from their families. The bad thing was we mismanaged the project (time/money bid) that we barely made profit. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Everland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 1:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Getting a business off the ground I have started my own company a while ago and am hitting a brick wall on how to get it off the ground. It's hard to do absolutely everything myself, so I throw this out to some of you that have your own company. What did you do? Did you start with money? Hire people? Do everything yourself? Have a kick ass product that got you off the ground? Cold called people? Sent out a mailing? What did you do? I have an application I made that is pretty polished and am just looking for ideas on how to get this thing out the door to people as either a service or as a stand alone app people can buy. WHAT DO I DO!!!!!! Anyways, sorry for the OT, flame away, but I figure there has to be a couple other people that could benefit from this discussion, let me know if this needs to move over to cf-community so I can sign up for it.
