I'm sorry to hear what happenned however this thread is about starting a home business. You started a mid-level retail business so I can't tell you what you did wrong.
And people have been taking me seriously since 2001. All they care about is someone who can deliver results, ship product fast, and have good squawk with the customers. Home businesses are rapidly increasing due to layoffs, downsizing, etc. Former 500 corporate executives &financial consultants are following lead as well. Don't count out the home business. It is the wave of the future. Apparantly you weren't taken seriously unfortunately since you did go out of business but perhaps you can try again except on a smaller scale. Going big is always risky
Mike:
If you want to start your own PT business (or any business for that matter) my #1 advice is BE PROFESSIONAL!!!
That means:
Have business cards
Have an LLC, Inc or some other company...or shit, just make one up.
Have a printed out price sheet with ALL of their options
Have them fill out a legitimate paperwork (PAR-Q, Waiver/Release, Cancellation Policy sheet, etc.)
Dress the part (All Black, or Black and White or something solid and classy. No muscle shirts please!!)
Be EARLY
That's it for now.
