All of the above was while very interesting said little if anything about the title of the Topic "How To Start Your Own Business".

I would also take issue with the statement "Your website is the one thing that defines you"

Not true. Your product is what defines your business. The internet is an enhancement to a new business it isn't the business itself.

Sorry Al. We get lots of article submitted to us. In stead of making a separate thread for every topic I stuck them in here.

We have gotten many SEO articles lately. Maybe we should start a separate thread for it.

Also, if you website is your business, then it might be the product.
