We're Still Here! Growth is on the Horizon...


Hello World!

As we want to share with you the many challenges, up and downs and encouraging developments to create a million dollar company; our blogspots are evidence of the sometime distractions that come about.

Embarking on changing the world, one community at a time, our focus has been taken from writing on our many websites, replaced by going to meetings with local governmental agencies designed to help the entrepreneur, also participating in local chamber of commerce events, and even seeking out "Angel investors and venture capitalists".

This is fun and exhausting at the same time. We are now considering if we should do a video compilation of the real growing pains of business development for the novice entrepreneur.
Our findings have proven that most of the organizations have not experienced a business owner showing up as prepared, subsequently leaving them 'scratching their heads" and wondering ...... "so what do you want me to do for you?"
How do you answer that question......especially if you don't need help writing the business plan, and you already know that qualifying for the "micro-loan" programs is questionable, and it is apparent that you know more than the advisor sitting in front of you.

We are finding out and will let you know!
Keep checking back with us! Even as I sit here and write this post, I am reminded of the dozen meetings scheduled for next week, some of which I already know are not going to yield my intended results, however the exposure of the project is the understated value we will receive.
Please don't misunderstand, this is not a gripe session.... just my chance for your to look into the reality of what you too may find as you go into the world of small-to-medium sized business ownership.... STAY ENCOURAGED!

Long holiday weekend helps local economy

Las Vegas, NV-

Las Vegas is eager to capitalize on another long holiday weekend that's just wrapping up.

People are starting to hit the freeway; heading back home. We spoke with lots of travelers who said this was a last minute trip. But regardless of whether it was planned or not, the only thing that matters is that they came prepared to spend and Vegas was ready to rake in the dough.

"We really haven't planned for anything. Wherever we go and see we are just happy to spend and enjoy. We don't have a budget," said tourist Carol Briggs, whose words are like music to Nevada's ailing ears.

Although many arrived with a set limit, in the end, they lost complete track of their cap.

"Vegas has taken my money. I'll have to come back some other time and you'll take it again," said George Black, who is visiting from Wisconsin.

Action News hit the strip and asked tourists what they're spending most of their cash on.

"Parking lots, hotels, drinks, gambling," said Nicole Denicio of Santa Ana California.

"I lost 70 dollars to gambling but other than that we found good deals on buffets," said Brandon Larson.

And for many, **deals** was the key word to this weekend trip; ditching the luxurious hotel suites along with all the fine dining, for some thing much more affordable.

"We stayed at motel 6 and when we eat out we eat cheap," said Kathy Spence.

As far as businesses, fast food restaurants were flooded with customers all weekend long. Shops are fully staffed, seeing sales quadruple, making up for slower days. Because after all --what's a trip to Vegas without a souvenir.

"You get a lot of people that are bargain shoppers, getting the 99 cent key chains. But we also have customers that price is no object and want to buy what they want for their family," said Angie Hurt, assistant manager at Bonanza Gift Shop.

Officials were expecting about 285,000 tourists this weekend, bringing in about $158 million. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, room occupancy is at 87%. Although it's still down from last year, they say it's not bad, since more rooms have been added.
