Hello Internet Community,

First of all, I�ll lead by offering a sincere apology if my message
offends you but couldn�t think of another way to REALLY spread the word. 
I�m not trying to relieve you of your money, merely advise you of a new
and totally free service I will provide to anyone on the Net.  After all,
isn�t this the essence of it all?  If you take, give something back to
replace it.  This has always worked for me in business and it�s what keeps
the Net alive.  I believe there are many of you that could greatly benefit
from what I have to offer, but, if this group feels it inappropriate, I
will quietly remove myself.  In an effort to demonstrate my sincerity, I
have carefully selected the groups to which I posted and I posted them
individually.  I call this selective-posting not x-posting.

My name is Jim Taylor and I reside in California, in the heart of Silicon
Valley.  I�ve been self-employed for over 25 years and recently retired at
the age of 47.  A few months ago, a private business group asked me if I
would be willing to share some of the �tips and tricks of the trade� to
those seeking to start their own business.  After some thoughtful
consideration I agreed but with the stipulation of four conditions. 
First, that the project will be grant-aided to the extent of the costs of
providing the service.  Second, that it not consume more than 30 hours per
week.  After all, I am retired for a reason.  Third, that it should be
focused primarily on �home-based businesses� because I feel they offer the
greatest potential for above normal income with the least amount of
capital investment.  And finally, that the information be given only to
the folks on the Internet because that�s where I spend most of my time
these days.  They agreed and here I am.

NOW TO THE MEAT!!

How can I help? Use me as an experienced resource.  If you have questions
about any of the following topics, then maybe I will be able give you some
�insider info� or at the very least point you in the right direction. 
These key focus areas are very critical to business start-up and the right
answers will allow you to fast start and grow your venture.  Don�t limit
yourself.  If you have questions in several topic areas, don�t be shy.  
Ask them all and come back as often as you like.  It has been said many
times �He who has the knowledge WINS!!�  It�s true.  I know because I�ve
done it.

Remember this is a FREE service that I am eager to provide.  I wish it
were available when I began my career as I am certain it would have made a
tremendous difference.  I know I would have retired at least 5 years
sooner.

I don�t have all the answers but hopefully what I do have may help you
assess your potential for success, enable you to make astute and timely
decisions and avoid some very costly errors.  Remember, in business, it�s
not what you make but what you keep!

Simply send me an e-mail with your requests and I will respond within 72
hours depending upon the extent of the information you seek.  Also, I
would like your feedback regarding any of the information I provide you
whether it be positive or negative.  In addition, feel free to make
suggestions for other topics not included in the list.  We are currently
in the process of putting together what will be the most comprehensive
business information Web site on the Net.  Completion should be sometime
in August.  I will be sending announcements to all that have contacted me.

I would wish you the best of luck in your new venture but luck doesn�t get
it.  It�s skill that counts.  Grab THE POWER.  Seek it!  Learn it!  Use
it!  Then, watch yourself jump ahead of the pack.  Self-propelled is not
for everyone but if you�re suited, IT�S A GREAT LIFE.

                                                                                                                                
Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                                
Jim
