I am looking for your help

[Pearson]

Hi, I am looking for help.

I am seeking people to interview who have or are starting their own businesses. I am interested in your opinions and insights into the struggles starting a business. In particular, I am seeking to understand what items/activities are the most difficult from a personal perspective and what are the market place hurdles. By market place, I mean things like legal and compliance issues, availability of assistance options, marketing or production challenges. I am not a business. This is a topic I am researching and I think the best way is to contact those who have “been in the trenches”.

Thanks

Pearson

Ps I've never done this before and hope I am not violating any any etiquette rules.

Hi Pearson,
You're on a forum of business owners. No need to solicit people to contact you outside of the forum, you can ask questions right here.
That's what it's here for.

Pick a few short questions, post them in the best sub forum, and people will respond.
Or if you want create a short survey, people have been good at responding to those as well.
It's really that simple.

Also moving this to Introductions.

Just wanted to echo what Harold said. Post a few questions here and I'm sure people will answer. You can always send a PM later to people who have responded asking for more. I think you'll get a lot more response that way.
