Visible networking is turning into a really great opportunity to get to know people better, get to meet new people, and have some interesting conversations. It was also beneficial because I got some good experience with both B2B and B2C business models. What networking events in Los Angeles or Southern California do you go to?

The brand name is the best summary possible of our business model. We are our name, and our name is our business since the inception of the idea behind the company. When I retired from my high-tech corporate job of 21 years, I knew I wanted to run a consulting business, but I wasn’t sure which services I wanted to provide.

There were lots of robots, aerial shows with model planes and helicopters, great discussions on current technology trends, and of course, plenty of beer and laughs. While there have been a number of acquisitions in the past year, it is still a fraction of the number of companies started.

My one feedback would be to have networking earlier in the agenda or sprinkled throughout the 6 hour agenda. Raise more money than you need because your business model may change. The business model for residential solar panel company: contract with customer, local rebates, and tax benefits.

The negativity either impacted investment funding (venture capital fell off a cliff in 2009) or the customers they were targeted as was the case for Untitled Partners who were building a platform for fractional art ownership. If you have a network (and everyone does), be judicious in using it, but be sure to use it. #11

They can make good money consulting or working as an employee of another company. I have been self-funding the business and have the commitments of a few angels to help pay salaries for some months when I find the right person/people, because I have come to appreciate that offering at least some salary helps a lot. Good riddance.

Im trying to create a technology enabled recruiting service for an unproven business model. Even though the business is making money now, its still a big risk for anyone involved. I was basically a consultant without the payment and I basically got taken advantage of. Hes right on so many levels. Act accordingly.

They don’t bill as much as I do, and they do the work in a fraction of time. Doing things all yourself as a business owner is an absolute time drain that we all need to take a magnifying glass to and figure out how not to succumb to this one. Sometimes, as a business owner, things change. Your business model may change.

The programmer will probably not understand your business model, and therefore cant help you point out anything that doesnt make sense in the requirements. I also know someone else who consulted me about his website idea. Many good freelancers are very busy right now and can be found through networking with friends or linked in.
