Big companies are not moving freight. My family cannot help, as their business's are having the same problem, as mine. I have watched my saving go week by week. I think the small business people have been forgotten. I want to know what is being done to help us? When you watch billions of dollars being given to other countries, I said give the money to the American people,not to the people who use the money to buy weapons to fight against us, or pad the own pockets.

Friend and family are crucial when they give you time, finance and/or support. When you start out small, this will make all the difference and in a lot of cases this is the difference between success and failure.

Flexibility, a low overhead and no need to hire external workforce is a big plus and helps in maintaining a viable business. Family rules!
