Sorry to hear that Rose,

Best of luck with the investigation.Getting your merchant account straightened out and working with a reputable company is priority one. After that, it`s a simple matter of making small steps. You already have the basics in place.

Is your shopping cart working now? Is everything working the way it should? If so, it`s time to just get busy and fine tune your site, get some exposure and develop your skills. The things that would really help you don`t involve money, they just involve time and well....that`s money isn`t it? 

So keep us all informed at SuN and if there is something specific that can be looked into there are all kinds of people that can help you out here.

Until then, My best regards and wishes,

Eric

>This has been a wonderful journey. Thank You for letting me be
>part of it. I can`t stop the tears from flowing. My world collasped all around me. I don`t have the strength to pick the up the pieces,
>anymore. Know body cannot relate how much work I put into my web site. One picture at a time, one description at a time. For all I knew was how to play games on the internet. I promised myself I would never go that route again. Putting my web site together became my purpose in life was helping others.
>Today I found out that USA card services which I have been paying 140.00 each and every month. once again they put my merchant account inactive. My web hosting company explained to me that can`t be done unless I miss making a payment, False all they have to is go to your e-commerce  account status in active, they have been doing this sice October 2005. I no longer have any money too put into my account. Plus I don`t have anymore motivation. All I wanted to do is celebrate the Holidays and have others  do the same.

Hay Rose, I can sure identify with you. I started my business two years ago and thought I had everything going but still no sales even though I have tooling,manufacturing, inventory and books all set up. Go to your local SCORE  office and talk to them. They are realy good and just as real as these guys. Best of luck. Wes

Hay Joel, I just love this site and hope there are others out there who may help me get my idea on the road. Have a patent and copyright and been through the mill. Hope I can help others so they won`t go through what I did.  Wes.

Wes (and others):

Your comments are all to similiar to stories we get often from our entrepreneurs.That is why we spend a significant amount of time with our clients on Sequencing. While it`s imperative to do the "right things" when starting a buisness -it`s critical to do them in the right order when you are operating on a tight budget. In addition to the sequence of actions, we have found that solid "synchronization" of core development will optimize the use of critical resources (people, time, capital). We see 5 or perhaps 6 development areas in a new business that should be in "sync" with each other. Most startups focus on the "product development" and ignore the others.

We wish you all the best

I am new to this and totally confused.  I would love to join in the forum, but don`t know how.  First I`d like to join "Web Site Critique", and ask for my web site to be critiqued.  I`d also like to ask for anyone who knows how to build online games.  And I`d like to reply to some comments.  Would you mind telling where I can find out how to do all of this?  Thanks so much.  Love this site!
