Starting the Startup Blog

So, this is my first blog post. I first of all need to share with you my reasons for starting this. I am a startup business. Have I mentioned I'm starting? As an entertainment agent providing a whole range of performers for corporate and private events and in the past 6 months, everyone as a direct result of TV economics coverage, have been putting the frighteners on, telling me that more than usual, I'm bound to fail.

I don't believe it as there is always money to be made. I have therefore started this blog to show how a fledgling company WILL become a huge benevolent behemoth in a couple of years time.

So, what stage am Iat the moment? Well I'm just in the midst of getting my website live. Word of warning to the naive new entrepreneur don't fall into the flashy light trap. I picked my web design company as they are quite a large firm and I foolishly thought that means they get the job done. Oh how wrong I was and I have now been waiting since mid June to get a website.

This is where the screams of "you should've got a completion date from them" can be heard screaming across the interwibble, but I tried that and somehow ended up mesmerised by some marketing babble. BE CAUTIOUS

I've also been getting my product, in this case performers by any and every mean. I'm attempting to get all quality acts and it's easier said than done with quality also referring to how well they keep up contact etc. For those of you wanting to know where I get my performers from? I'm not telling you. However I have heard a certain northern entertainment agent can get you anything you want. ;) OK enough of the sell, this is me finished blogging for the moment saying good night, good luck and whatever you do, don't mention the R word (it makes matters worse)
