[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16026641, member: 67454"] ... and the learning curve has been steep. Prowess with electrical circuits and a soldering iron does not necessarily translate to being an effective businessman. So far, Lesson 1 is: Make it easy for people to give you their money. Get Paypal set up, at least, fer cryin' out loud! Lesson 2: Don't announce the business expecting not to get an almost immediate order. It happens. No matter how obscure your product may be, or how limited the market. I score highly on both points. Announced the business, got an immediate sale. Spent the weekend fighting with Paypal to get it set up. Next time, try it the other way around, genius. So ... what else can you guys tell me so I don't have to thrash around learning stuff about running a small business the hard way? I've got the name submitted for availability with the state of Texas. How long does that sort of thing take, anyone know? [/QUOTE]
