I am hitting that magical age I'm 53 and just started a business, a flower shop business. I love doing it! from wedding flowers to just because I do everything in between and there after. I love my profession and job, but as I continue with my business I have found some obstacle hurdles at times, that I need to overcome. My friends are real content at retirement or working in a 9 to 5 job, I have never been that way, and now at my age I find myself starting a business with high hopes and dreams. Id love to talk to someone who thinks similar to me and interests. thanks for your posts.

I truly appreciate them. It is wonderful to hear the excitement and delight in your business. It can be a challenge to find like-minded people. A few years ago I had the same issue. I was a home based business and wanted to talk to businesswomen I respected about areas of mutual interest. So I started the Executive Women's Forum in my town. It started out under the chamber of commerce, but eventually stepped away from that organization. I asked three women I knew and three I wanted to know if they would help design the group. The membership has changed over the years as people have moved on, sold businesses and retired, but it is still going without me. So I suggest you find other businesswomen (men, too, of course, if you like) and put together a once-a-month gathering--breakfast is usually good. Keep it business-oriented, on topic and on task, and you will find your group. Another thought is a MasterMind Alliance as described by Napoleon Hill in <em>Think and Grow Rich</em>, which I have written about. Again--good luck! Eva, thank you for the compliments! I truly appreciate them.

I want to be the next Martha Stewart, or Oprah, or another household name that people will recognize. I want my brand and my delicate flowers to be recognized in my industry. Better yet have a flower shop at Macy's!!! That would be AMAZING I know its hard work but keeping a vision and a dream alive I know that I can do it. I appreciate your comments and even though you have never met me, I promise to you to keep the dream alive and march on with the business that I know I can have! On that note thanks again and talk to you soon and like my slogan says, "We Have a Flower for that..." We truly are a universal flower shop. Take care, Eva Rosa www.EvaRosa.com Bonnie,
