Thanksgiving Day: 2007

Well another Thanksgiving day is here and I hope everyone enjoys Family, Friends and food. I am thankful for all the people working to keep us safe and get us to our destinations and back home safely. I am thankful for the thing that is going right in my family, but I am also thankful for the things that are going wrong in my life, because when I correct them I will again enjoy another victory!

Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day!

Business Contracts and HUB Zones

Next Monday I will have been in New Jersey for a week, collecting phone numbers and addresses of the people and organizations I need to talk with about the business plans I have to expand and promote our businesses in the area. Our focus, presently, is on aiding other businesses and governments, manages and invests funds and, when needed, secure additional capital. We will talk to the VA or Veterans Administrations, VSO or Veterans Service Organizations and other groups and individuals that can provide information and support for our efforts.

I spent a day reviewing local HUB Zones or Historically Underutilized Business Zone and determined that our present office is not located in a HUB Zone. We can qualify if we employ most of the workers from a HUB Zone or we could be sub- contract, joint venture and other working agreement with a company or companies located in a HUB Zone. Tomorrow I will contact the VA and a VSO to see what information is available from them. Another site I am studying is the Federal Business Opportunity site where they give some very good examines on set-asides and other ways a company can qualify for governmental contracts.

Business Trip: and HUB Zones in New Jersey!

We traveled almost all day Sunday until 7:35 p.m. Sunday night, when we arrived in the great, the wonderful —well the state of New Jersey. My son and I with three Grandchildren less than nine years old and their mother made the trip in two cars. Their father drove my car and I rode with the three youngsters with the mother at the wheel. I had promise to drive, but she wouldn’t let me, some how, the parents of my grandchildren have decided to never let my wife and me drive if they are in the car. So I entertained the kids, kept the driver alert and enjoyed the rest stops. My plan was to leave the six months of clothes in the trunk of the car until Monday and unload them when we made room for them in the cloth closets. But my son pulled up in front of the garage and started to unload the car and I joined in and got almost everything in the house: just a few items on top of the Van in a container.  All my stuff to wear is in garment bags, each color is in a separate bag, so I know when I look for something if I don’t see it in that bag, it’s not here!  Now that I have the work area and living area in good shape I can spend the time on my reason for being here and that is the business expansions we have underway.

With four applications to the Federal Government, you can imagine the number of files I have out of my office in paper boxes waiting to be put in portable file holders. Our goal now is to provide the part of our service to the various governmental agencies, that  they can use in  their daily operations. As a small business we should take advantage of any and all special opportunities provide to businesses that can qualify. Including Disable Veteran-Owned Business, locating in a HUB or (Historically Underutilized Business Zone,) and any other legislated, mandated or designated programs that are in place to aid the small and minority business-owners in the noble effort of starting, buying, expanding or operating a business!

Six Months Business Trip!!

Tuesday, 6 November 2007

Every time I take a pen in hand (well so to speak) to write this post, I become aware of another problem. Yesterday driving home from the store, the lights in the car came on “change oil soon.” Three days before the exhaust fan kept running after I cut of the engine, problem? A bad relay switches! (Maybe) I will put the car in the shop today at 5:pm so they can have it ready Wednesday, because I will leave this weekend for the tri-state area around New York on a six-month business trip to help my son expand his business and start another business with me as a veteran-own company. If all goes well it could be complete in three months, but we planed for six so we have time to insure that everything is in place and operating smoothly.
The good news is I should be able to post at least four days per week, starting next week. All posts will be coming to you from the Eastern parts of these United States. Unless we get good weather and roads so we can come to Ohio for a quick visit in the next three months, if not, I will be reporting from the New Jersey area for the next six months.
