I have been growing plants and flowers as a hobby but I would like to turn it into a business by next spring/summer. Any suggestions on what to plant? I have some ideas, for example I will start my tulip bulbs in fall. I have already started my compost pile in the back yard. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance If you are asking this kind of question you are clearly not ready to run such a business yet. D I recalled the story of Democrat Presidential candidate, George McGovern, opening a business after his political career: http://www.logomaker.com/blog/2012/1...nd-government/ To bad he had not learned this before getting into politics. Cute. In order to make a political point, the blogger deliberately excised the first sentence in the paragraph he quoted from the article. That first sentence is: "My own business perspective has been limited to that small hotel and restaurant in Stratford, Conn., with an especially difficult lease and a severe recession." Further on in the article, McGovern again attributes the regional economy as a significant factor in the inn's bankruptcy. He also points out that he isn't against regulation - he's against 'one size fits all' rules for businesses, and calls for more flexibility taking other factors (not just number of employees or annual income) in account when creating them. The current White House occupant is also lacking in this knowledge As are most Republican politicians, which is why historically Republicans have driven up the deficits, which successive Democratic congresses have then been left to grapple with (and take the blame for). In my home state the Republican Party has found itself on the brink of bankruptcy, burdened by massive debts they took on as a result of spending money they didn't have. No surprise there - the chair of the party had a history of doing the very same thing in his failed business ventures. Just proves that politicians should not handle things that would be better off left to the general public. Reminds me of a letter to the editor today: "Those of us forced to pick up the tab for Delaware’s crony capitalism are tired of enriching a few at the expense of many. When will politicians realize they cannot magically create jobs? When will they realize their job is to create a fiscal, social and legal environment that attracts employers? If I want a Fisker automobile, I’ll buy one. If I want to lose money in a casino, I’ll visit one. And if I want to speculate in “alternative energy,” I’ll become an investor in Bloom Energy. At least we’ll know what to call the next centrally planned disaster: a Bloomdoggle. Thomas H. Fairchild Newark, Delaware" |
