Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

 

 

Glad to have found a site that has a sense of brother and sister fellowship and not hierarchy like.

I have not yet created a member profile.  I  prefer to let my partners tell of themselves and the newly formed business. 

We are based in Alaska and would like to know, do our fellow Alaskans also participate in this site?   We prefer to go locally then spread further out as we expand. 

Lumberjill,

As a former Alaskan I`d like to welcome you to StartupNation. We were 3 years in Ketchikan and 9 years in the Matanuska Valley near Palmer. Are you in Southeast?

I recall a lady on StartupNation community from Alaska. I believe she was a used book seller but don`t recall any others. You could certainly do something to change that by talking up StartupNation in your community. I always enjoyed the entrepreneurial spirit in Alaska. Again, welcome and I look forward to learning about your business.

Steve,

We are between the towns of Palmer and Wasilla.  Entrpreneurs are plentiful here and most certainly Startup Nation will see more activity from the Valley.  Soon we will boast of our creative genius and share it with the world.

No kidding! We lived just off the Palmer - Wasilla Highway. Left there 11 years ago.

Funny thing; a major reason we had to leave the area was one of it`s most amazing features; the glaciers. About a year after we moved to Mat-Su I developed asthma. Never had it before then. Went to doctors for it; ended up in the ER one night because of an attack. After 8 years a doctor finally told me the asthma was triggered by glacial dust! The glaciers grind rocks into a fine powder that under a microscope looks like broken glass. Many people are irritated by it, some develop asthma. I was one of those people. My wife said, "now we know who`s tougher."

We miss Alaska; the mountains, the people, the climate.

Welcome to StartupNation. Don`t be shy. Find a forum that looks interesting and jump right in. Just like any community, you`ll find a variety of personalities. It takes all kinds to make a world.

Speaking of unusual personalities, there was a guy we used to call Wild Bill, who drove a big truck towing a trailer, every square inch covered with big plywood signs berating judges and lawyers. He parked it in front of the courthouse in Anchorage. Do you know what ever happened to him?Strange the things you find when you stir up memories.

Look forward to hearing about your business. Our`s is a gluten free bakery. Don`t get me started talking about that; I`ll never shut up.
