0 | I am wanting to put on an Event for my Sales Businesses at my home, but am having trouble deciding on whether or not to hold it, as I am not sure that it will be offensive to anyone or not, even though I know it would be safer. I would like to hold a Bake Sale and Barbecue, featuring my Sales Businesses as what helped make that happen. Would you, if you had a choice to, go to an event like this, if you knew there would be a Bake Sale and Barbecue, even the chance to pick up free Catalogs and possibly buy some Neat Stuff? I know times are tough right now Economically and moves like this can be risky. That is why I am asking. |

0 | I agree with misspiggy. I don't see how a bake sale and BBQ would be offensive. Businesses have been combining the two types of things for many years. Holding shindigs to give back to customers and/or communities while displaying their products for sale. What do think would be offensive? |

0 | Well, I just wasn't sure if something like that would go over well, because of this being a small, rural town, where Rumors circulate easily, Reputations get Ruined and people get jilted easily, I was not sure if my Neighbors and others in the community would be offended at being asked to buy specific items. I don't want it to seem so much of a Sale thing, as a Party, but do want to slip in featuring my Sales Businesses. Plus, I have tried before to pull off something like this, no one showed up, even though I did eventually make back the money I lost, trying to put it on. |

0 | NMLN, I think you should go for it! If you have a good idea, and a good buisness plan....well, don't limit or edit yourself....And pursue your passion. Passing on a chance to achieve what gives us meaning, could mean passing on our Purpose in This Life. I had a small coffee shop about 13 yrs. ago in a small rural/suburban town. I worked 7 days a week...up @ 5am, open @ 7am, home @ 8pm. I was fortunate enough to operate in the black until, unfortunately, I had health problems, and knew it was necessary to liquidate, and take care of myself. However, I never reflect and feel regret or despair. Rather, I feel like the recipient of perfect gift...a perfect stepping-stone, that led me to the perfect place,....."now". zzzowl |

0 | Well, I have devised a plan to try to do outside events, even to the point of "possibly" setting up a Roadside Stand outside my home. I found a way to do this within my own financial means. I am hoping for the best on this and will see what time, money and abilities do. I cannot, at this point, say that this will happen, as money dictates every move that I make right now. |
