My Introduction

[LissaValerian]

Greetings!

I am about to cast off my employee shackles and become a small business owner. I have a bit of trepidation about that and need a lot of financial smarts! :-)

I have been haphazardly running a technical support and webhosting side business for a while now, and have slowly been adding more features and taking on more clients. Due to budget constraints and financial squeezing at my company, I (as well as others) have received our notice that "our services are no longer needed". I have received a two month notice.

Ack! Very scary. The good news is that I have been working diligently on my side business for quite a while and am starting to see some income, yay! My partner is in support of me going full time with my own business. I think that I have stayed sheltered within my own "comfort zone" at my job and this sort of "pushing me out of the nest" is presenting me the opportunity to break out of my comfort zone and get out there and get my company up and running.

So here I am. I've been doing lots of "crash course" learning about personal and business finance, and how to manage my finances on a business level. That is one of the reasons that I am eager to participate in this forum.

I am looking forward to the insights I'll gain while I'm here!

Sincerely,
~LissaValerian

I have lost my job 2 month ago and I still can't find good one, I am living because I have some saving on my account but a debt in accumulate and more debt and more .. you know how that is if you don't have pernament job only part time.. I am happy that I have part time job as I don't need much money but you know credit card, mortgage and other bill killing me... so back to your case, I am sorry to hear that you have so much trouble with your financial life, I understand that you are learning new thing about finance, you have came to good place where you can learn about money, management, credit card credit score, all about finance in one place so you can ask as many question as you like and i can try to answer all your question but don't ask me what time I am going to bad tonight..

Good luck in learning! also why corporation say that they no longer need your work? You was working for Corporate America?

that the reason I don't like to working for Corporate America today I was having interview as a sale person, of course I don't want to sell any product but wish to find out how sale person work.. I get exited.. 200 calls per day.. one person.. 300 people work in field.. thousand of calls per day.. wow.. like a UBS trading floor... in Stamford CT!

Yeah, the economic times are really rough right now. I'd like to consider myself really resourceful and try to figure out ideas on how to make money, etc. Right now I'm doing tech support and webhosting. It's not much, but it does bring in some income. It works. I need to learn how to financially manage my business better since I'm going full time now, and It looks like I'm going to be bringing someone else on board to help me with the administrative tasks. So I'm really excited about it (and scared at the same time!)

We'll see how it goes!

Really? I missed that somewhere ... I'll have to go look at that ...

hello, you pretty much miss a lot of opportunity here at money castle forum as we have a lot of discussing topic about authorized user

if you have a credit card with solid credit history you can add someone to your credit card and someone get your credit history for free! simple as that but if you forget to pay one time and have late payment on your account someone will have lower credit score also
