Encourage my Wife Marquita Jensen?

**MasterOfTheWeb** · 01-25-2009 06:39 PM

My wife Marquita Jensen is very nice, but she knows little about business. I'm going to be starting a web consulting business and she's going to school to be a massage therapist. If she's successful, she'll need to get & retain normal clients. I realize that if she is working at a massage place they will do most of the business stuff, but there is also a chance she'll be starting Marquita's house of massage and have nobody but me. While I can take time from Joey Jensen consulting, I will still find a lot of stuff less stressful if she knew more about business in general.

Any suggestions or thoughts?

Man, small business is so simple. Get her a billing/customer program for her computer. Teach her that. ($75 + 5 hours) Get her a company credit card, even if its prepaid. Tell her to always use this for anything business related. And then as she takes on 1 then 5 then 10 a day she will start thinking herself about 15% referrals, 25% off pedicures at Kims Beauty, and she will be so excited you wont have to do anything. If she is not excited she is in the wrong field. GL

Hi there, and welcome.

Resources like YE are definitely a good place to send Marquita. In addition, have her check out sites like Business & Small Business and Business Resources, Advice and Forms for Large and Small Businesses - both very helpful to someone getting started.
