The first post in a new series!
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that of the hundreds of thousands of jobs dumped by corporate American in the last 12 months...aren't coming back any time soon. For those folks in job search or job transition mode, quite a few of you are no doubt exploring self-employment options.
Great!
The foundation of America has been built on the innovation and creativity displayed by small business developers and owners - back to the days when the settlers at Jamestown and the Pilgrims first arrived here.
But - what to start?
Completely new business? Franchise? Solo-preneur or build a team of employees? One of the very first challenges comes from the nature of the quest itself - "what kind of business should I start?"
As I travel around town, surf the 'net, or read...I'm always collecting interesting, unique and eye-catching business names, ideas and web sites. In this new series I'll highlight those I find, in hopes of sparking some new ideas for you to noodle around. I mentioned in my March 16th post that I loved the idea of "unleashing talent." May you find these new posts a source of your own "unleashing" and creative application of your gifts and talents.

In a recent conversation with a colleague, she remarked that she had a new Blackberry and loved it...but could not begin to find the time to read the manual and find out all of the cool features and productivity-enhancing tips.
She was willing to pay someone to show her all of the many features, in an hour or so...and load all of her contacts in the device.
Are you both a technology wiz and someone who can easily explain computer "how to's" to people?
Are you both patient and quick?
Can you both teach and follow up if your client has questions?
This would be a great part-time or sideline business, or could build into a full time biz. Is this business idea made for you?
