As I have searched for answers on the many questions I have about starting a small business I have learned there are no great insights shared by others on the process. Sure, you can find the rules and regulations in the various government regulations, but I hope to share with you the "real world" experience.Dina DiNuccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564248825245398271noreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080902962013393458.post-41176251811258765462008-06-02T08:38:00.000-07:002008-06-03T12:13:05.869-07:00I'm a smart woman -really. I can do anything I put my mind to. I can research and implement anything I want. But, I will tell you that this past year and one half in business has challenged my belief that I can mange anything single-handedly. I can fix a car, remodel a house, lay a wood floor - but I can't keep track of all of the regulations related to employees, contractors, food service, fire inspections, city inspections, lease regulations, credit card agreements, loan agreements, what is tax deductible, what is a personal loss vs. a business loss...<br /><br /><br />So, I will take this blog and try to address topics one by one in hopes that this insight will help someone else get one step closer to understanding some of the challenges, the questions and the processes they will face along the way.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5080902962013393458-4117625181125876546?l=businessownerlife.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dina DiNuccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564248825245398271noreply@blogger.com0
