I have just begun my own business and I am very nervous about it. I know that I am giving up a lot of benefits and perks with my old job, but I think in the long run it is going to be very beneficial. I will no longer have medical coverage and I will miss the nice corporate gifts that I received every Christmas, but I think that the pros far outweigh the cons.

To launch my business, I purchased several promotional products with my company name, website and phone number on them. I figured that if I got my name out there that would be one big hurdle out of the way. Once people know who I am and what I do, I will start to get customers by word of mouth, but for now I need to get out there and find them myself.

I have been handing these promotional items out to practically everyone I meet. I figure if I hand out thousand of them then I should at least get hundreds of customers. I really think that once I get the clientele I will do very well and I am all about being successful.
