learn something new everyday....

Yesterday I met my friend Eric at Starbucks to catch up and go over some business plans. I must say that our meeting was very enlightening and its good to brainstorm with friends. I learned how to get a free website for my small business as well as a free a telephone number! I have been paying almost $30 for my website and I am still not using the services. Where as my friend has his business phone number and website up and running and all for free!! It definitely pays to ask other people whats new technology or resources they are using to start their small business or even in general for work or school. We also learned that Starbucks is a great place to network and meet new people. I spoke with a CPA who was studying to become a Tax Attorney. I also met a man that is looking for a sales position. Its very important to continue learning and gaining more knowledge each day as we grow. The only thing in life that is certain is change and I have learned that in order to keep up with the world of technology I am going to have to research and ask those around me about new resources. Until next time.........

I am an advocate for Financial Literacy and talking to the parents at the school truly opened my eyes to see how much of a need this is. So I had a table with the bank name, we had some giveaways like popular character stickers for the kids, some fake tattoos and eco friendly bags. My company was the only bank there but the other businesses were Tutoring Services at least 5 - 6 different ones. W...
