Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I have been looking around for quite a while and decide to join today.

As for what I do....I sell Jerky!!! I market on and offline and love it. The biggest issue we face currently is not eating our profits.

I also dabble in web design and computer programming as well as woodturning. I get in trouble when my mind is idle so I try to keep it busy.

I hope I can bring some value to this great site.

Do you like beef jerky? Do you know anyone else who does? You can own your own business (incl. free professional website) for $14.00!!!

ummmm Jerky. Do you sell deer jerky? My hunting buddy has a real nice recipe for deer and goose smoked sausage, its REALLY good. Yeah I could see eating your profits might be easy to do. :)

Welcome to the site.

Sorry we don`t currently have deer jerky.

As for my dreams, it is easy. I want to be in control of my own life. When you work for someone else, they control a major part of your life.

Is that it?

You don`t want to be:

fit & healthy

be in a great relationship

take your spouse to France

learn a new language

read more books

overcome your fear of flying (especially if you want to take your spouse to France)

own a place by the sea

reach $100m in sales

write a book

and so on and so on.......

Keep dreaming.....

I am 26 and a single mom. I am wanting to work online but not sure of what I can do right now to bring some money in. I`m studying Derek Gehl`s Online marketing course now when my son is asleep. I`m wanting to create an online community for single stay at home moms like me. I just need to decide on what kind of content and features I`d like on there. If anyone has any tips or experience with that, please let me know.

Hi there Mom :-)
Here`s one topic you might take a look at:
"What kind of business can someone start"

Here are two about passion, both of which are good food for thought:
"Pursue the Passion"
"Finding one`s passion"

Another fun topic was how to start a business with $200.

What it comes down to is that if there`s a will, there`s usually a way. :-) Notice in your own post you state what you don`t know or aren`t sure of. A better way is to forget about the "how" for the moment, and let your imagination roam free.

For example, "I`d like to have an online community for moms like me. It would be all about this topic and that topic, and give moms and maybe dads a place where they could talk. I want it to include this feature and this other one, and I can see it being really useful this way and this other way."

See, it`s more about developing your vision of what you want. It`s not so much about starting with each piece of a vision then trying to prove that it will or won`t work. :-)

basically a social network for stay @ home mom`s would be easy i guess since there is TON and 2 well you just make subjects on your social network mom`s can relate to. Mostly with bringing up their kids/teens in a new bent economic culture and also where everything is Electronic and online so i would base some of the content reguarding that.
