My mission is helping people start and grow their own small business. How I got to be a Small Business Consultant is a story for another time, but the point is that while I was a pretty good traditional Business Consultant (retail store, neighborhood service business, local professional service, etc), so many of my clients, and potential clients, were trying to start a business from home, or do business on the internet, I decided to venture into this new world myself. This is the first in a series of articles about what I learned, and how it can help YOU start and grow your own small business by marketing on the internet.
