Hey there Mike :-)
This is definitely an interesting site, and different from many other types of forums. What`s your business idea?

Thanks for the welcome! I am from Memphis and I actually found out about SUN through the "Costco Connection" magazine a few months back. I am such a big believer in small businesses, great ideas, the American Dream, etc., and I read that article with a lot of enthusiasm. It just so happened to coincide while I was in my early stages of planning for this business, so I could not wait to log on and see what was out here. As I continue to progress with my partner in development, I am stopping by SUN on a daily basis now! And I have been addicted to all sorts of podcasts since they first started, so I was excited to listen to the SUNcast and now it is in my regular rotation!
Anyway, I believe I received all my entrepreneur genes from my dad, who owned his own side business that I was able to assist with growing up, and his father owned a small grocery store in a small town across the street from the local school. So, I felt right at home when I found SUN and people who were at all stages of their business development.
As far as the business goes, we are building a "hub" type of web application specifically designed for contract retail representatives. I will be able to go into much more detail when it launches, but have to be somewhat guarded at this point. Basically, we are filling a void that exists today for a large population that has very limited options right now. More to come soon!
Thanks, I look forward to meeting several more as we help each other start it up and keep it running smooth!
Mike

Awesome, thank you Craig, I will read through that information. It will be database intensive, we are just finishing building that portion and are now trying to find a good programmer here locally to tie it all together.
