Though the paperless office is still some ways off, so many typical office services can be replaced or augmented online. From virtual receptionists &amp;nbsp;to having multiple extensions via advanced 800 numbers. Just as an example a virtual phone service like gotvmail can be used and customized for a variety of business types like consultant think-tanks to Realtor agencies. </description></item><item><title>Tough economy?

It will be on the market in July of 2008. People can't afford to use professional florists for weddings, parties or for just everyday florals. Believe me I know! I own a small floral shop for the past 19 years and as the extra money shrinks so do the customers. So, Go with the flow.... Help people to still have beautiful flowers and teach the world how to arrange them. I even tested it on second graders. Made with reclcled material, manufactured in USA, woman owned company and come with a life time guarantee. Retail $29.95</description></item><item><title>Tough economy?

I had a real rough start. Alot of trial and error, hidden expenses, and insurance/bonding was a real eye opener. My business is pressure washing. there is hardly any over head and a person can get started for a real low investment. The standerd rate is $75-$100 an hour. Minimal employees and there is plenty of work for someone who is willing to get out there, sellthemselves and services to get thier name out there. I had been very successful before in this industry. Just thought I might share that with who ever might use the info. or idea for a business to start/check into. </description></item></channel></rss>
