I have a business idea that will revolutionize business advertising (that is all i will say at this time), but I am worried about being taken seriously among "big whig" business owners. My product will increase advertising and customer return rate drastically at an affordable price. Again my only concern is if it is worth me investing in at such a young age because I don’t know how people will accept me. What do you think? Any advice?

I am dependant on my husband, my husband have finacial problems, loan, credit card etc..
I am trying to do some savings these days, my husband life style is very different from mine, however after a fight yesterday, my husband admitted he will go for a day near the beach, even uf he doesn’t like water, and small cabins, he said to me: " he became home kind of person, he likes to relax at home" and he said: " I have to get back the sense of going out"
plus my husband is doing e-business, advertising at home, all day especially on week-end, he learning. He is doing that because he non longer want to have a boss above his head, because of his boss.
He even told me he will do business from home full time when he sees this thing is working better than his acual job as an accountant.
I had one misscarriage last year 2006 during my studies, and I was studying full time, my husband was supportive staying with me at the hospital, after the cleaning operation, he was very supportive and he promised me that this miscarriage will stay confidential.
During summer break, my husband took 2 weeks off during chritsmas, he didn’t get out for the whole break, he asked me to be supportive and patient, he need to set his e-business first.
but I asked him to go for a cheap holiday, he said he can’t.
now, after the 2 months passed, I stayed at home most of the time, I was bored, there is nothing to do if you stay by yourself, I feel insecure, anxious, stressed out, I fee very sick, I am depressed now
yesterday, I blew out all my frustrations my talking loudly at night with my husband, I went through a fight with him, I said to him, I ca,t cure myself from head ach, I can’t sleep, I keep thinking and worrying, I have headach, this will affect my studies in my final semeastre.
I need recharge! I gave him an example: how the computer sometimes is hot and slows down whe you use it alot, a human being is the same, e should know that, but he really thing that I am holding him back, after all the time I spend more with myself, he didn’t bother thinking and suggesting to go out from this boring cycle at home, I cook everydaym wash the plate, clean the house, and give my heart to him.
he threatened me after the fight yesterday because I was yelling and embarrassing, he was going to hit me but thankfully he didn’t, instead he went back to the Internet and made a reservation for me and him for one night, a cheap stay at a holiday place.
you can see on his face the "I don’t like this outing" when I said I will prepare the bag.
I said " I am sorry for yelling at you, but I am frustrated and I am not enjoying my life since I came to Australia, you don’t take me out much, I am isolated socially, that is hard, we didn’t have honeymoon after our wedding, he claims that he spent alot of money for our wedding.
I don’t want to live with him anymore, he doesn’t appeciate me, and he think I don’t appreciate what he did for me so far.
last night I slept well, but In the morning I felt he still sad becoz of the way I communicate with him.
I know that I am not perfect, but I need a solution to live happily with my husband, he is hard to control.

www.gopherforum.com – How often are you performing a service on a customers property when you see a problem that you feel you could fix? Do you mention this problem to the customer? If not, why not? Offering basic weekly mowing services is a great way to open the lines of communication with a customer that can lead to bigger profits if you know what to do. One of the members of the Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum shared with us some of his suggestions on how he makes big money with upsells to his current lawn care customers. He wrote I have three crews that do the lawn mowing, pressure washing, clean up jobs and I worked with them this week just to see how things were going. I try to encourage them to look around, look for things we do and talk to the client. I realize its not in everyones blood to simply hit up a conversation and say I happened to notice you could use..this is something we offer if you like. Staff even ask me is it ok to talk to the customer.I wonder whymy response is always by all means they are the ones that sign your pay cheque. I picked up 8 additional jobs from current jobs this week so far, I took various staff members to talk to the owner. A classic was yesterday, I checked in on a crew doing a mulching job and it looked excellent, I walked around the house and noticed it really needed a pressure washing, I asked staff if they noticed and they did, they said and they are right. Its clear on our lawn care marketing post cards that we do this. I

www.gopherforum.com – With many small lawn care businesses, the owners tend to feel there is more money when you get in and get out fast. However as we will see in this discussion, offering more services than simply lawn mowing can help you be on the job site longer. The longer you are on the job site, the better your chances are of meeting neighbors and others driving by. These meetings can lead to adding new customers. One of the members of the Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum asked a question that kicked off this discussion I thought of a neat idea for all of us. Everyone will state what services we offer & explain how you go about doing them if you want. This will give everyone a clear idea on what services they might add to their business. Ill start. Services I Offered. Gutter Cleaning Weeding Spring Cleanups Topsoil/Fertilizer/Grass Seed Hedge Trimming Branch Cutting THE SERVICES I WANT TO START: Grub Eliminating Aeration, .00 a yard is the cost around here. Driveway Crack Sealing (id add dye to the sealant to create the aged color) THE SERVICES I DONT WANT TO START: Gardening, planting Tree Removal Anything that keeps me in the same spot for the entire day. I dont like to stay in one spot doing a big job, which could bring me really nice income. I like lawn mowing because its quick & keeps me moving, I tackle a lot more & it feels great. I do weeding, but personally I hate at a job site for even more than 5 minutes. As for landscaping in general, even if Im good
