Easy To Start

R Venus asked:


Hi all,

My wife and I own two franchises of barber shops that offer haircuts for kids. Both are struggling, but we believe that w/ a little creativity and help, they could be profitable.

My wife and I have other jobs, but we do work part-time at the salons. More importantly, we are committed to spending more time to help the business grow.

We especially need help in marketing. Any great ideas?

Also, do any finance whizzes have ideas on what we should be analyzing in our QuickBooks? I’ve heard that we should be tying financial and operational data together to make decisions, but we’re not sure what to look at.

Our shops are in the Midwest.

Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.

There is a business in our town that the owner is dying, my husband works there, but we don’t have the money to buy the place. We have heard that there are government loans out there that can help, does anyone know?

Thanks for your advice…

I want to be able to set my own hours so I can stay home with my 3 year old daughter and hopefully soon a sibling. I am planning to start my own home based business helping others decorate/organize their homes. I was thinking some sort of contest where people could send in their worst or best decorating projects. Maybe I could get some of the local businesses(furniture/accessory stores) to participate and make a big media blitz or something. But I’m not sure exactly how to go about it. I also don’t really have any money to work with so I have to be creative. Any ideas? Also, where can I find wholesale accessories and furniture? Thank you!
