    I need an angel

    Hi all, I hope you had a great New Year!! My big question today is "Should I quit or keep fighting??" I just don't know what to do, I can see the potential in my business but I can't get my debts paid to continue. I have so much happening in the next couple of months but how do I get from...

    180 businesses per day to go bust in 2009!

    Its so easy to spend money when you are excited about the business and try to go too big too soon or when other PR type companies help to spend more money than you have. Big mistake made - slowly getting out of debt.

    180 businesses per day to go bust in 2009!

    I am working really hard to make sure my business is not one of those to go Bust. I made some silly choices when setting up my business in 2008 but I am working to keep it going. I think this is going to be my motto for 2009 Spend NOT where you MAY save Save NOT where you MUST spend. (thanks TEJ)

    I need an angel

    Hi all, I just thought I would give you an update on my current situation. I contacted a number of "business investers" here in NZ through Citizens advise but a couple of them advised me that I was not in as much trouble as I thought and told me to do a sale and extra promotion to trade my way...

    I need an angel

    I need an angel

    I have learnt the hard way that people (or some people) in business are nasty nasty people and take advantage of unwise people like me!!! It is good to hear that I am not the only person who has been in trouble financially because of money problems. I am mainly stressed because if I dont pay...
