Thanks for your message. I currently own a small business, have owned it since 2000. It's running fine, but it's just not enough. I guess I just need to step it up.

Thanks again!

We still do that, but it's sort of my husbands thing. I do the office work, but it's not "fullfilling". He also works full time as an EMT, so it's not our #1 priority...

I guess my heart is just not in it.

<t>I'm looking to start a new business, but just not sure what I want to start up. I've always worked in manufacturing and right now entertainment, but really want something that I'm totally into. I don't know what I'm in to... <br/>

I need the flexibility of owning my own business because I ...

Sometimes I really wish I could!!!!!

<t>Yes, I took my niece, daughter and son out to lunch and on the way home my niece said "I'm skinnier than you". That's just one of the many times she's said things like that...most of the time she comes right out and tells her she's fat. I stopped the car and told her that we do not speak that way ...

<t>I did take her along to a soccer camp (it was every Monday for a month) that my daughter was going to and she seemed to really enjoy herself. A couple of days later she told my daughter that she's a better player than my daughter... My daughter knows it's not true, but still I don't want her to ...

<t>Yeah, it's just been almost 5 years and they are still telling our clients things like "oh don't use them, they are going to jail" or they tell others that we are going out of business so don't use us or that we don't show up for contracted dates. Just stuff like that and we are losing business ...

Thank you for the advice. Ever since that ad I never use anyone else's name, but my husbands (which is unusual). He also has a DBA in our area for his name.

I could handle it if it was just a close watch...

No, no contract. The only contracts he ever signed were the ones for "gigs" and he fullfilled every one of the contracts he had with the agency.

<t>Wow thanks for the support. Back in 1985 my husband started booking Disc Jockey shows (school dances, weddings, company parties) through a local Entertainment Agency. He subcontracted through them until 2000. He kept asking to have his rates increased because he was their "best disc jockey" their ...

<t>Hi. My husband and I own a small business where my husband has been providing his services for over 20 years (I only do the office work). Anyway for about 15 of those years he had an agency book his services. Approx. 5 years ago he broke free from the agency and apparently "burned some bridges ...

<t>Thank you all for the advice. I will be speaking with my daughters teacher tomorrow and yesterday I had an opportunity to speak with both my daughter and my niece together. I told them that it was very important to stick up for each other and that being friends was very important. I don't know if ...

<t>Hello. I'm new here, but would love some input on a small, but significant proplem. I've been married for 6 years. In those 6 years my sister-in-law and I have been friends. Over the past year she has gone through a divorce, money problems, drinking, drugs, being gay and then bi (don't know what ...
