Ok for those of you that are in sales, or just a general opinion. What would you do if you had the opportunity to attend an event that COULD bring you in alot of money and clients? I capitalized could because with sales you never know. The dilemma is I have to pay for the booth and the advertising, the required 700.00. I work full time but this could put us behind what would you do. Take the risk or ride the train of safety?

I would attend the event, even if it meant that I could not eat for a work due to that, that is what making your own business is all about, going the extra mile that others would not. If you risk nothing you gain nothing.

You were reading my mind. That is just what I told my hubby today. We will need to cutback on the luxuries and stop shopping a bit and just live a little less full of luxury and he totally agreed. He is really pushing me to do it even if I have to do it alone. Talk about intimidating my first expo alone, eeekkk. Should be fun though.

Scary but I bet exciting, an opportunity to spread the word about your business, every business own's dream. I am an eBay seller and I am always trying to put the word of mouth out to people but it difficult.

well for me right now im a businessman, my aim in life is generate funds of course to my business and to my family, in every event of life when there's opportunity i decided what every business that comes in my life im ready to take that risk, if do not gamble of course you cannot see the result. for me take the risk and be brave whatever decissions.

I truly agree as does my husband. But then there are the nay sayers that believe life is reality not a dreamworld. But I like to believe you work hard enough you become your dream. Thanks for the insight.

Before I start doing any business activity, I check first my cash flow. Try to see if I can still survive in case it fails and if I still have enough to do another one. I'm a high risk taker but will alway make sure that in case it didn't go as plan I have something with me now that can support me til I can get back up again.
It seems like this is your first expo, do you have a web site? please visit www.infinity.com.ph
having a website have lots of advantage and incase lots of people are in your booth, you can simple say that your web site explains it all (but you have to make sure that it do) and makes you look more professional :)
