Wow – we finally launched version 2.0 of Accounting Tools for Tutors on Dec. 15. It went pretty smoothly – the biggest issue is our version 1.0 users getting used to a new way of thinking. And, our credit card processor not doing exactly what we want it to do. So, until we fix that glitch, we are doing manual transactions, but we are encouraged because 19 new users have signed up so far and we haven’t even done any marketing or advertising.

Besides that, several calls this past week in response to our monthly ad in Home Business Magazine- lots of people weighing the pros and cons of starting a new business in this economy. Certainly a risk, but one worth taking, especially compared to the expensive franchises out there. The think I love about my business model is that I get to support and consult with all of my new buyers – kind of hold their hand and help them through the first steps of starting their new business.
