update - this year i started 2 more biz.

one was on a fluke.

a friend asked me to help him start a non profit org and do fund raising for him.

i created the biz....but pa state reg to be a professional solicitor costs in huge fees and the feds...also have a huge fee (when collecting over a certain $$ amt)

how i got around that is follows. i wont collect the money.

at all fund raisers - the org's treasurer must be on site to collect. no money is collected by me. i get 15% of the fund raiser and the treasurer pays me.

in 3 mo's ive gained several clients already w/o even trying.

fund raising is easy. ill build this biz.....when i get bored ill sell it for a profit.
