ROAD TRIP LESSONS

Last week my lady and I took off to Carmel California for a few days of “head clearing,” and we decided to go north from Los Angeles by road. Road trips are always therapeutic for me and they also offer a chance to do some first hand, eyes-on research as to what small business owners are thinking and doing.

I think that every business owner and even the most senior corporate executives should drive around their communities or territories or maybe across the country if that is your marketplace.

THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING HERE

While enjoying a Saturday night social gathering this past weekend, a great conversation regarding our favorite concerts and performers struck a chord with me regarding today’s tidal wave of business events. It is well described by the lyrics of a 1967 pop music hit from Buffalo Springfield, “For What Its Worth,” written by Stephen Stills.

Your blog extolling the virtues of The Best & The Brightest (and the bad rap of Elitist thereby attached) is another in a series I've come to expect from you: well reasoned and pointed in the direction of Excellence.

Great inspiring show; I wish there was more info on acquiring start up capital for new minority businesses. If someone has suggestions, we would surely want to hear from you. Thanks!
- Michelle/Ron Ellis

Thanks for the compliment to our Making It show. Start up capital is always challenging for all genders and ethnicity! Begin now to make friends with your banker and I recommend that you visit a Small Business Administration office or their web site to learn more about access to capital.

Personal savings, help from friends, using home equity and customer financing are the most frequent sources of money for start up.

-Nelson Davis,
Executive Producer

Michelle and Ron: I would also suggest that you become certified through your local NMSDC Council and begin networking w/in those channels. There are many new hybrid financing opportunities and SBA-type lending available for minority businesses. These opportunities are expanding. Best Regards.
