I'd sponsor you if I could. There are actually various organizations out there (none coming to the top of my head right now of course ) who are open to sponsor people like yourself to help you start up your own non-profit type business. (And of course, non-profit doesn't have to mean that you won't get paid... you're just getting paid to do what you love.) You never know...

kristy...with your compassion with animals how could you fail in a doggy day care? We know that people succeed because they have a passion for what they do...and their love for it is transformed into incredible financial success. If your dream is in something like this, I strongly success you develop a 3 to 5 year business plan. Anyone that would provide money wouldn't consider it with out one. And you really need one to have that map on how to reach these goals. SBA provides loans regularly with quality business plans. That's their mission. There's great growth potential still out there for doggy day cares as well as well as cleaning businesses for those aging baby boomers with disposable income that prefer to do other things then spending time cleaning their houses. Now I know you peobably aren't interested possibly in a Merry Maids type business, but the start up is extremely low (next to nothing) and the growth is easily controlled and dictated by the new clients you bring aboard. Expansion can be filled to by family members that you know well and can trust. In any case, in either case, a business plan is a necessity. Two out of three businesses fail the first year. Tired of the boss stuff, the routines, the time watching, the weekends that always end,the knuckleheads...think about it.

3???? I still have 5 left!

You're too funny!

A post in the investor's honor every week??? Geez.. Even junk bonds pay better than that! But let me know if it works! The truck needs breaks for $800 and I still don't have firewood for next winter! Hey, maybe we could share an investor? And if it's a woman, I can pay the dividend for both of us!

Geez.. I hope Donna is busy knitting and not reading blogs!
