Small Business Funding Alternatives

Not sure how many business owners have been turned on to “Meetup.com” yet but it’s a great tool for business as well as personal networking and meeting of people with similar interests.

I attended my business meetup yesterday with the Baton Rouge Business Networking Meetup Group and really enjoyed it.  It’s a very inexpensive and effective method of networking for people on a shoe-string budget — and fun.  This group was recently featured in the Baton Rouge Business Report too since this is definitely an idea that has reached it’s time!

Don’t know about any others reading this blog but I love semi-precious gems and minerals and am a member of my local Gem & Mineral Society - we’re called Rockhounds, by the way! Anyway, thought I would do a little promoting of the Earth Sciences some here since this happens to be the week to focus on them as they are doing in the classroom above.

 I wasn’t able to go to the last dig we had at our gem & mineral club, but 20 or so members went and had a great time at the Hogg Mine in Georgia.

 Any other rockhounds out there?  Got any stories to share?

This is my first post on my new blog!

 I started about two months ago upgrading my outdated computer system on which I had previously started my first blog (www.debilbm/eblogs.com).  I quickly learned to be able to take advantage of a lot of the plugins and blog functions my old system needed to be upgraded — it couldn’t handle the newer technology.   It had been mostly used for email and a little websurfing previously.

 So, after lots of ado, I am finally to the point where I am ready to relaunch my blog with a new name and look as well as a better understanding of what blogging and the blogging community is about.  Granted, I am still a novice, but learning more each day and that I do enjoy blogging very much and am ready to get going again with it.

 So, please feel free to comment, share opinions, request information on a particular type of funding, etc.  I welcome feedback!

Adieu, Debra
