Okay, I have no idea how that happened. Let me finish.

The business has been going since last summer, and we’ve had our ups and downs. Big time. Yesterday was a down. But we’re determined to see this business succeed. We’ve snagged some major job search websites and are determined to get some more.

However, it’s been a daunting process. My employers are awesome - if anyone can do this, they can. But I’d like to show them some first-hand accounts of successful businesses - so I’m asking you guys for your ‘starting a business’ stories - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the successful, all of it. If you’ve started your own business, please tell us about it - all of it.

Thanks!
