Dear Brett:

All I can say to you is that if you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you shouldn't be in business for yourself.  It's a rough world out there, and not everyone is going to greet you with smiles, sunshine and roses.

I have been reading and posting on this site for several years now, and these good folks represent a literal treasure trove of knowledge and experience.  As a business owner with over thirteen years' paralegal experience and ten years of title searching experience, I am still learning from these people and I am damn proud to consider them my colleages!!  Don't dismiss their counsel just because you didn't get the answer you were looking for.

You need to be confident enough in yourself to be able to shake off negativity.  Consider the advice of all of these people who have been concerned enough to take the time to respond to your post.  If you find it sound, take it.  If not, you are free try what you believe will work.  That's the beauty of being an entrepreneur.

I sign off wishing you all the best in your new venture.  It is sure to be an adventure of a lifetime; but it's not for the timid!

Best regards,
Scott L. Perry, President
