Hi, Joel   I am new a t building a web page.  You sound very impressive and I could use some help w/this!!!!!!!!!! Any advice you have, I`m sure will be of help. I am a naturalist at heart and I want to tell the world about using the earth and plants God give us to use!

Hi Joel,

Thanks for the positive, go-getter attitude!  I would like for you to know that I`ve recently been re-vitalized by your community.  I`ve been a "member" since the beginning, but haven`t been quite active.  Yet, I`ve always relied on Startup Nation when I needed information about the next phase of business.  Fresh ideas are so important... and Startup Nation provides! 

I really enjoyed the recent competitive contest with the elevator pitches.  It was a lot of fun to compare and contrast everybody`s speech.  It gave a fresh perspective on something I`ve been struggling with a little bit.  It`s also been very nice to connect with other business owners who are at a similar stage of business & searching for funding. It`s actually very nice to connect with people who are in the same place and to see how they are progressing, and how they are doing things.  Perhaps this has been the most valuable aspect of all.

One thing that I would like to see, yet I must admit I don`t know how likely this is...   Is the ability to connect with Angel Investors... Is there a possibility that we could connect with investors and post our business plans?  This would be cool!  Or even have some sort of Angel Fair online!  Now that would be cool! 

I still haven`t taken full advantage of the buddy list, but I am soon going to be adding people and connecting with them more.  I`m excited about this and seeing what comes of it.

Overall, I`d just like to say thank you!  You guys are awesome!

I am new to this forum and just wanted to say hi.

HeavenOnEarth... I love the idea of posting business plans. It would give investors the opportunity to look as well as other new writers to improve the writing style or content of thier own biz plan by use of the example.
