Jo, When I had my businesses, I spend a lot more than that developing a business plan. That was only the first step too. I could do an essay on this topic. Feb 23, 2010 01:26 PM

Jo, It would have been SO nice to know this when going to school for Feng Shui. One day we graduated....there was no marketing -- at that time absolutely none! Now the classes are half marketing and half Feng Shui (which I'm not sure is such a good idea either) but I do wish someone had told us what we could do. It was a long road with many ups and downs figuring out what works....and what doesn't! And I never thought of my library! Feb 23, 2010 04:17 PM

Jo-Anne, I love the many different programs the public libraries put into place. I used to be able to walk to the library when I lived in NYC and became spoiled. I don't take the 15 minute drive as often as I should since moving to Miami. I'll need to go check it out. Feb 23, 2010 09:13 PM

Jo, Some of these seminars are conducted by people very knowledgeable in their fields, and it's a lot less expensive than hiring a professional to provide the same advice. Brian Feb 24, 2010 12:08 AM

Carole, I can sympathize with you completely....it was the same when I took all of my real estate courses...there was no marketing being taught at all. If only there had of been AR back then! Jo Feb 24, 2010 12:17 AM
