> I appreciate your advice and it is taken seriously. What really triggered this dream for me was when I helped a buddy with his small business. He is in industrial valves. He asked me to write a business plan for him as he needed a loan to expand. I took a few days, bugged him with questions, wrote it and he was happy. While I was talking with him, he told me of a problem he had. He didn't know what to say when people asked him why they should do business with him.

I asked him what made his company better than the competition. He quickly came up with five responses. I wrote them on a 5 X 8 card taped it above his telephone, and his problem was solved.

I love helping people and I know I can help solve small as well as large problems. I think the mom and pop shops may need the most help. You are right, they don't have a lot of cash, are comfortable the way things are now, and probably a million other reasons why they don't need help. I want the people who are not comfortable.

One question though, what does DNO mean? I am new to the sight but love it's content, simple yet powerful.

Thanks again Bob,
