What kind of business should i make? -

I have to make up a business for my careers class. i m not sure what i should do. Any ideas? im a freshman.

Keep it simple. Sell a simple service that doesn t require a lot of overhead and where your employees can be independent contractors. When I was your age I started an entertainment booking business. I signed up clowns, magicians, etc. and booked them for parties. You run ads in local classifieds and make sure you distribute cards at any events they do. Also volunteer for any street fairs or other local events to raise awareness for your business. You charge a deposit, say $75 for a 1 hour show and then the talent accepts the balance of $75 when they arrive. You keep the deposit and the talent keeps the last $75. Clean and simple.

What system do you use to keep track of your business contacts? -

I would like a program where I can easily send clients e-mails, letters, form letters, take notes, keep history and other basic business requirements.

What book is a must to read in helping you achieve sucess as a small business owner? -

Enter more detail here (Optional)

Erm, I have Jim Crow the spammer following me it seems :)Anyway, maybe getting accustomed to your ACCOUNTING books is a good way to start.From my experience I d also say that if you have one or two employees working for you, don t be their buddy or they won t respect you.Be fair but firm and lead by example: when they get there you must be there already.

Hi William;Perhaps the best book I have read was The E-Myth by Michael Gerber. In a very clear and friendly style he gives you a manual on organizing your small business in Professional manner. The effect is to mirror a franchised business by developing procedures for every part of the business that will when followed by all the firms employees create a customer experience that is consistent every time. He would like to have you take one or more courses that will lead you toward this goal however, the web site and books he has written are very generous in helping you do this on your own. Check out his web site for a regular newsletter (free) that is also helpful.I can assure you will find his books very supportive and quite helpfulFred Norman

Whats the deal with purchasing beauty products on Ebay.? -

It s been going on for quite some time now. I can see the listings but when I click on them, this message turns up stating that due to a decision by French courts certain products cannot be sold on Ebay- this includes perfumes, facial creams, hand gels, anything imaginable. I ve looked them up in amazon and they are normally sold there, so can somebody enlighten me?Thank you for your time.

eBay have been sued for allowing sales of French branded cosmetics on their site:http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y09/��As I understand it, it s only supposed to stop French members from buying or selling authentic LVMH perfume products on any eBay site in the world but eBay being what it is, there are also problems for users other than the French (such as yourself).

Just go to a store! Then you can smell and test whether or not you even like the stuff.

Some Countries have bans on what beauty products can be imported (France and Germany are 2 of them)

Hiring based on lookS? -

do you think hiring based on looks is unfair to hard workers ? especially those unemployed person because of recession?

Yes, it s unfair. But that s the way it has been and always will be. There s no objective way to discipline a company because they hire people with better looks over skilled workers.One personal example in my life was that I had 10 years of experience at my job and was really good at it - the department did need a new worker and the manager hired a blonde bimbo and she got my shift and I got put back down to a worse shift. She didn t know what the ***** she was doing (sorry about the language). Her and the manager had an affair (they were both married). Freakin ridiculous - but you can t really do anything about it.
