Over the years I've witnessed numerous entrepreneurs create very successful businesses having started with just an idea.
Take a concept - the idea - and shape it into a viable, functional, profitable venture.
Oh yeah, that's also lots of fun!
Now this "process" is not magic.
It's a methodology that produces a predictable result - a successful business owned and operated by the founder!
The process includes marketing, operations, administration and financial controls.
All the things that exist in every successful business.
I could spend hours sharing with you these particles, procedures, components, processes, etc.
However, there's an easier way and we've been doing this awhile.
When you are thinking of starting (or growing) a business, give me a call or join me for breakfast any Wednesday at Corner Bakery Cafe, 7:30 to 8:30 AM and I'll share with you the things you need to be aware of and in the best way that you a absorb them.
Be sure to let me know you're coming.
You need not be in Houston, by the way. People connect with me from around the world via Skype.
Successful regard$,
(Not thinking of ever having a business? Pass this on to a friend who is, please?)

Annual AFTER TAX DAY Celebration!
|
|
1862
During the Second French intervention, a small Mexican force garrisoned in Puebla defend against an attack by French troops, causing the invaders to retreat. The anniversary of the battle will become a regional holiday in Puebla. In California, Mexican Americans will begin celebrating the victory in 1863. Their annual observance will gain popularity across the US and evolve into a general celebration of Mexican heritage and culture.

1921
French fashion designer Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel introduces 'a woman's perfume with a woman's scent.' Dozens of prototypes had been considered, but No. 5 stood out, due in part to its heavy use of aldehydes. The perfume will become iconic for its fragrance, celebrity endorsements, and distinctive glass bottle.

Naval officer, test pilot, and astronaut Alan Shepard pilots the Mercury-Redstone 3 mission as he takes a 15-minute suborbital flight to become the first American in outer space. A decade later he'll venture somewhat farther and visit the moon.

"Houston's greatest energy resource is its entrepreneurial energy."

"Recognized as an industry leader and pioneer in small business incubation" by the National Business Incubation Association and as "One of Houston's core entrepreneurial groups" by the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and "Ranked the #1 new business development group in Houston" by Houston Proud!
We are a not-for-profit cooperative association of independent
business owners for market expansion, business development,
entrepreneurial education and professional growth.
We were created from a specific and priority research project of the Houston Chamber of Commerce in the late 1970's on the importance of start-up and emerging small businesses. We brought you Houston's first small business incubator, which became Texas' oldest, the first co-working space in Texas, the first Womens Business Center in the United States and the first Residency Incubator and first Virtual Accelerator Program in the World. Our clients have ranged from pre-start-ups to the largest companies in the United States! We clearly demonstrated that entrepreneurship could be taught, that business plans were not a requirement for a successful business, that women were starting businesses at a faster rate than men and that entrepreneurship was color-blind and gender neutral. Our start-ups have won virtually every award in Houston for business growth, some nationally, some even internationally and some of our established client companies are now household names in Houston. We operate entirely without grants, gifts, donations or public funding. We don't have our hand out and are NOT your tax dollars at work! We are totally self-sufficient!
We grow companies, build careers and advance ideas!
