 You have a great idea, but there is one thing I need to know?

• Where are you in Florida 
• Have you considered what entertaiment venue you wish to promote
• Do you have Microsoft Office software or anything similar?
• Do you have a decent printer that does not run out of ink quickly? 2 printers is a good idea - one for black & white, the other for color presentations.
• You say in your post you have thought about it for 3 years. Have you written these ideas down on paper?
• Have you considered your target audience beyond the age factor, but also ethnic, or religious as well? The dollar is green no matter who spends it!
• Do you have a Blog(s) or web site to let people know your there for them?

Find opportunities to hook up with a seasoned event promoter in your area to get your feet wet and hone your promotional skills. It`s a good way to gain valuable experience as well as some insight on what to do and what not to do as you plan for your business.  Once you decide to take the leap consider keeping the business small but agile.  You`ll need to be flexible to handle all the different aspects of event planning and/or concert promoting.  Starting small will help.  Also, try to keep your expenses to a minimum.  These can add up quickly and you can`t always count on making it up at the gate.  And one last thing....Don`t serve frozen fruit to your artists!
