If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Finally, somebody is telling me what flowers to buy. I usually choose incorrectly, to say the least. Mother’s Day, anniversaries, birthdays all used to be head-scratchers for me. Really, the ladies in my life care about flowers. I actually tried one of those fruit bouquets once, and I was strongly reprimanded. I will still use roses as my go-to flower...

Starting a small business is a huge undertaking, and it can take years for a new company to see a profit. Even single-person operations or freelancers have a lot of work to do just to keep things rolling. But if you have a great idea and a good work-ethic, it’s worth giving it a try.
