If someone can't raise a $5,000 credit line, it's probably not a good idea that they start a business at all, and probably a worse idea that anyone hire them. > (By the way... credit is a path of > raising investment capital also. Not everyone has a credit line. Would you > believe there are people who don't do credit at all?) I didn't do credit at all when I started my first business. I started it at 19 with zero "investment capital" (kind of a mis-use of the term), and sold it when I was 22. We used CF enterprise, and never used credit to buy it; instead, a client actually bought it for us. $5,000 is nothing in the terms of enterprise systems. > You also have to be able to market yourself to recap your investment.

If someone's willing to do what it takes to use the best tool, and that provides them a competitive advantage, then there's nothing wrong with that person putting another shop out of business. In fact, it's a good thing. -- Get Glued! The Model-Glue ColdFusion Framework http://www.model-glue.com ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
