Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Hello,

First of all, I have to say "I love StartUpNation!" I have recently joined SuN and I am very impressed with all of you. This is truly a worthwhile community to belong to. I cannot believe how much positive energy and excellent advice can be found here.

nhgnikole suggested that I introduce myself and discuss our operating methods. My company, www.CladdaghPublishing.com has taken the publishing industry by storm by going green.  When most people think about publishing houses, they think of waste and the destruction of natural resources. I can tell you with the utmost confidence that this does not have to be our industry`s norm. Below you will find a list of our efforts.

We have two offices, New York and Florida; where our local staff telecommutes. It is very important to both myself and my partner that we do our part to protect our environment and natural resources. We have taken the following measures to ensure that we do our part for the world around us:

Part of our commitment includes working with suppliers who share the same environmental values. I strongly recommend taking your businesses green; for the betterment of our planet, our children, and (stay with me) your profits!

Thanks for taking the time to read this post.

Welcome to SuN, Claddagh. :-)
I have one Very Important Question. I suspect that your name is Irish? I`m only guessing because we have an Irish pub around here with the same name. So....how do you pronounce it? Could you give us a phonetic spelling? I`ve been sort of thinking "KLA-duff" in my head. No clue, though...

Irish? Don`t tell me you can see my red hair through the computer?  Yes, I am Irish, first generation American. I chose Claddagh because it has a very special meaning: love, friendship, and loyalty.

To pronounce Claddagh think Klad-duh or with a NY accent imagine "ladder" (pronounced ladda) with a "C" in front. Now before I upset or offend anyone - I am from NY; so I feel qualified to make this suggestion.

Hope this helps, Craig.

Sounds great! Glad to have you on board here!

This indeed helps, as I`ve been drastically a`feared of going to that pub for a sandwich, although I hear they`re very good. :-) "Klad-duh...." Okay, got it. And thanks for the translation, by the way. 

Welcome, Claddagh.

I am also a newbie here at SUN and have thoroughly enjoyed the energy of the community.

Enjoy your journey!
