Don't sweat the small stuff
If only you had more time, or money ... Time is money. Using the Net to take care of such nuisance chores as mailing packages, sending faxes, and ordering supplies can save you a fair bit of time. Enough, perhaps, so that you can finally begin writing that business plan. Information is money. You can research your market, investigate the competition, keep up-to-date on new developments in your field, read business and trade publications, and check government regulations. Money is money. You can download free software and maybe even save on taxes. Heck, why not look for venture capital or a business loan while you're at it? Advice is not money, but it can spur you on when you're too darn tired to think or too uncertain to take the next leap. Better still, those consultations via newsgroups and Web message boards are free! (If you're a small-biz consultant, you might want to seek advice about a new line of work!) You can also offer your own two cents to some starry-eyed beginner trying to remember the difference between income and profit. Speaking of profit, why not sell on the Net? Sure, you can create a Web page, but you can accomplish a lot on the Net without one, with free listings or some modest advertising. Hey, you're not president of the company for nothing.
