So I`m working on getting financing for my business. I just started and I need some money in the bank to take care of those all-important startup costs. I also need some money to pay myself and my partner a wage. We will definitely be putting full time hours in.

For those of you who have done the same... how do you determine a good wage for yourself to start with? I wanna be as conservative as I can, but have things I need to take care of (bills, car payment, the ususals) and can`t completely skimp on myself. However, this is full time, so I`m trying to mix the conservativism and sacrifice with a practical figure.

Any suggestions or guidelines?

If your writing a proposal for sposorship do you ask for a salary ?

Owww...good question...I have been struggling with this idea as well. How much am I worth...and is that a conservative enough figure to put into a tight budget...and when I got to ask for funding from people...do I include what it would take to pay me!?

I am eager to hear responses on this question...Thanks Collin and Zeb for asking!

I would suggest bells and whistles...although I am not really sure those would help much online!

We need a marketing strategy...a catchy title...can we change the thread title to something more general...something that makes people say "Hmm...I wonder what that is about!?"   Something like..."HOLY COW!!!"  I bet that would catch peoples attentions!

You know, I don`t seem to get an answer to anything I post...but that doesnt surprise me...My brother and I have always had to achieve everything alone, but giving up is not an option...

I`m on a lot of internet forums and this one is so new that the activity isn`t that great yet. Once the SuN guys get more traffic here, I`m sure we`ll get a lot more solid help. I guess our question is unanswerable??!?!?!?
