Do you think there is still a market for internet cafes? -

I want to start an internet cafe. There is not one internet cafe in my town. There are coffee houses, but no internet cafes. With all the coffee houses and other places providing free wi-fi and the price of lap tops going down in price, do you think there is a real market for internet cafes in todays marketplace?

With the way technology is today I don t think so. You can get a wireless connection from your local cell phone company so you really don t need to go to a cafe.Sorry but I think internet cafes are a thing of the past.

What is the #1 piece of advice for a small business wanting to make the jump into a larger market? -

+In this economy

Expand cautiously. Entrepreneurs are wonderfully optimistic folks, and it s easy to see the path to a much bigger company. But the economic environment screams out for smart growth, meaning limiting your debt and keeping costs under control. You should realize that large companies tend to work on a very different timetable from smaller businesses; they are much less nimble and willing to take risk. They have many vendors, large and small, chasing them at this point and you ll be one of the many. So, if you are eager to move into larger markets, be aware that buyers will move more slowly than you want them to, which means you need to plan for that in your sales cycle and your cost structure.That said, capital is beginning to loosen up for large companies and they appear to be ready to slowly grow their spending. If your idea is ripe and you can keep your risk low in this expansion, it might be the right time to position yourself for the economic expansion of the next few years.

Keep your I on the ball.
