I like to look through joke listings, but sometimes it takes much more time than I plan initially. I like this one on freelance efficiency:

Q: How many Heisenbergs does it take to change a light bulb?

I really enjoyed this adv. Import of 75 tons of marijuana – the guy ran a big scale business. I do not think he will find a suitable job at our website though we focus on legitimate jobs.

One day your home business might need to expand and you will think about hiring employees and getting venture capital funding. Most small business owners (including home workers) secretly dream that their business project will succeed and they will switch to the new level.

To succeed at our time, you need a great idea that will lead to the product or service in demand (you will have a market for your product/ service) and there will be no cut throat competition in the industry. Business 2.0 magazine has published a guide to your small business success. You can read more detailed instructions for each step at their website:

For entrepreneurs, now is the time

New technologies are creating new business opportunities, and radically reducing costs for startups. Still, success is as difficult as ever.

Phase one: Establish a company

In order to get started you’ve got to test your idea, build a founding team, get a business plan together and pick a company name that will take you to the top. Here’s what to keep in mind.

Phase two: Prototype the product

Finally the rubber meets the road, as you stake out your intellectual property and assemble the demo that will help you sell your idea.

Phase three: Develop the beta product

Now is the time to start installing your staff — hire the best you can afford. They’ll help you perfect your company’s product and begin the beta testing process.

Phase four: Launch the product

Now that the testing is done and the product has been refined, you need to find paying customers. So stop fiddling and start selling!

Searching for angel investors

Here is what every aspiring business-owner should look for in early-stage backers. Remember, it’s not just money you want; you also want brainpower, connections, and experience.

What a VC wants to see in you

You too can woo even the fussiest venture capitalists. Be sure you’re pitching to the right partner — and expect them to present you with a deal sheet that has some tough terms.

That’s it. It sounds easily achievable, but the truth is that millions of people know what steps they have to take to succeed in business, but just a few really do it. I guess it is not enough to know (or even learn by heart) the above guide. Unfortunately, I am unaware of the success recipe as well as the rest of the world.
