Starting Out

I am currently 7 days away from submitting a business plan for an expansion loan from the Women's Enterprise Center. Not only is it a loan but I am going through the process of properly refining my services, work practices, clients, media, marketing. Really trying to get my shit together.

The more I learn the more I realize how much there is to learn.

I want to use this blog as a diary of everything I come across in a day and hopefully educate others about new media and the web and how it can benefit them as it benefits me.

I have had a lot of small-medium business owners come to me in the past month(or so) having some problems:
-Not educated about technology, new media and the internet.
-Looking for a professional to help them understand and use it to their benefit.
-Not looking for a company, most have been 'burned' in the past by a designer, developer or a larger media company because of cost.
-Are in a website contract with another individual but are unhappy with the results, lack of updates and services.

I have been to a lot of events recently about social media and technology and I am flooded with information. I need to collect the information, process and use it.

Advice from other talented Web Gals so far- I'll mention them individually later.

Keep It Short Stupid.
Be Transparent.
Be Human.
Be Honest.

So here it goes.
