see that they are what men really want. Males seeking to spend time with Cougars are often called “Hunters” or “Prey”. **** Agelover. c o m **** seeks

I found the Plan B. It is working well, the investment start up is minimal. $40. If you have a great work ethic, enjoy people, your business will thrive. It is Jewels by Park Lane located in Schaumburg Illinois. Direct sales, and the sky is the limit. Great customer sales, and a fantastic hostess package. I have been with other direct sales companies in the past, and Jewels by Park Lane is hands down, the best that there is out there.
They take care of their people, both consumer, and fashion director. There are trips that are easily earned, cash bonuses, and free jewelry just to mention a few of the perks. No inventory to stock.
People can take it for a test drive, and not have to worry that they sunk their savings into something that might not work.
The company is debt free and family owened.
I encourge anyone, male or female that is considering trying a new business to take Jewels by Park Lane for a test drive.

I already started a new business. I was a home designer/drafter, but that is obviously not working for me now. I rented a spot in an indoor year-around flea market. So far it's been doing well. Second hand items and reasonably priced antiques are still selling. I think that my whole attitude is that nobody should be a one-trick-pony. We should all have a back-up plan. In my case I have been putting things in my shed for some years now that I bought at auctions and yard sales. Now that the economy is down I have inventory and am already turning it into cash. People are still spending money out there and looking for good deals. The trick is to find the niche in the market and sell what people want and to buy well enough yourself to make a good profit. I am looking into other opportunities as well now that I have more time.

I live in a town that is like country. I have to drive thirty minutes either way to go anywhere. There is no work here. But all of the towns around me request that you have a bs, years experience, minimum wage, or some kind of trade. There is no work for a woman my age without training. I am trying to start a business where I can help woman and other minorities to get work for their business. I would like to start a design/build consulting business. Where I hire the small business subs, etc. My passion is in residential decorating and designing. I would like to do renovations and repairs and building for the lower income people. People like me who need help but can't afford it. I need government assistance and advice. Anyone out there who might know where I could start please let me know.
thanks

I ran my cleaning business 3 times, I consider myself is a cleaning guru and hard worker.I am a member of marble expert association of USA as well as Floor care expert.
I broke my back 4 years ago, depended on my Son, but he cannot do any good, I tried to help him, buty it goes down to drain while I am still in pain on my back after 3 times surgery.
I love to go back to run on my own, but if I borrow money to against my house, i LIKE TO OPEN HEALTH CARE CLEANING (MEANING HOSPITALM, CLINIC) OR SCHOOL CLEANING ETC., I am afraid that if the business doesn't working out I am loosing my house too.
I am not good in sales, but I have an idea of how and what, however when I speak, people has a hrad time to understand what I said.
Any advise please helP.
