CJ, I don't think you understand how a successfull buisness works. You sell your products mainly to strangers, untill you build a good repore with them and cater to their needs. You have to rely on others to buy your products and services. I will give you a good example of what one of my customers said was superior customer service.

I am in the nursey business, have a great reputation for being an excellent grower, propagator and manager. A good customer in Dallas ordered a truckload of trees and shrubs, my guys on the loading dock missed two specimen plants that were on the order. The customers called pretty pissed off, he needed the plants for the next mourning, and had come to houston and hand tagged them. I told him I would bring them that night in my personal truck if he would help unload them. He didn't believe I would drive 250 miles with 2 trees, told him when I would be there. My guys fucked up the order, but they were good workers, and everyone makes mistakes, this was fixable, so that's what I did.

After that he realized I cared and wanted his buisness, we were his first call for plant material after that. And to this day get a christmas card from him, and still talks about me doing that for him Originally Posted by seedman55

WE make our own success indeed, and we do things together to insure our success


as for me understanding how a successful business works I ran a business (for an individual) and I posted 7 figure numbers every quarter for almost 13 consecutive years ...

maybe I dont know much about business , but for me to do what I did I needed the business owner to trust me and over 40 employees to help me be successful ... I do know that much

There would be no purse witbout those spectators, you silly fjc. Originally Posted by WTF

If enough tickets aren't sold, there may not be another such event, but that's free enterprise and risk and hard work. A concept you and Obama don't seem to grasp

When you run your own business, which I do, you welcome the opportunity to go the extra mile, or in your case 250 miles. It's a chance to beat your competition. Creating a loyal customer, who will tell his friends about your business, is money in the bank.

I really think Obama gave Romney a huge gift with his careless remark about people not building their own businesses. I think most Americans still understand that most successful people work damn for what they have.

Obama's welfare parasite supporters will probably believe that it's only bad luck or racism that prevents them from being successful; most people know better.

The harder I work, the luckier I get.

Based on your comments on the board, my guess is, you're probably a stocker at Walmart.

brilliant points. It is sad, man, sad I say.

Like I said, you have no clue as to what a ECO system is and how that relates to business.

In my own personal particular situation, I do believe and have acknowledged two women for teaching me the ropes about my own personal small business. I applied for and obtained an independent business license well before I had any idea I would use it to pay taxes in the way that I do now. Originally I thought I would use my license to sell my artwork. Needless to say, sales were slow. I longed to be a self supporting independent small business owner.

One day, while searching on Amazon I found a book titled Sex Secrets of an Escort by Veronica Monet. It was an incredible read, and very enlightening. She had the most amazing attitude and outlook. I wanted to be a sexually liberated woman and to enjoy men the way she seemed to appreciate them. Eventually on Amazon I became aquainted with the equally inspiring Amanda Brooks and read her first book, a more sober and educational look at the nuts and bolts of independent escorting. I must say that with all honesty if it had not been for those two books and subsequently corresponding via email with Amanda Brooks and following her blog I would not be the independent successful massuse I am today. Those two women were definitely the trailblazers for my unique situation and I still follow both Veronica Monet and Amanda Brooks on facebook and their blogs whenever they post. It was via Amanda that I found eccie and p411. In all honesty, I must admit if it were not for their books and their activism I would not have a clue about what I have come to do what I love and adore and gratefully make my living at. I also have absolutely no plans to ever work for anyone else again, that when I am no longer able to do what I do then I will sell my artwork and submit my writing for publication or perhaps self publish on Kindle. Working for oneself and doing what you love is an incredible feeling and I am grateful everyday to these women for blazing the trail for me.
