As important as it is to have the right tools, there are times when you need more—like answers to questions about how to utilize these tools. Sometimes, things come up when you just don’t know the answers. As you build your business up, you will find that it helps to have someone to call upon for answers: your own consultant, as it were.

Then you think about how much consultants cost, and you figure, that’s for well-capitalized and larger companies than your little business.

Wouldn’t it be great to have the consultant available to you on retainer, but without getting a monthly bill for getting your questions answered?

Think of what kind of questions you can get answered?

• How do I get a business license?  Do I even need one?
• Will I have to register my business name with the state, and how do I do that?
• What is the best way to get customers?
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of my advertising campaign?
• What is the best way to organize my business to protect myself and save on taxes, too?

These are all important questions, and there are many more you could think of, having to do with marketing, customer service, accounting, product fulfillment—you name it! Wouldn’t it be great to have a source to help you get the answers, and not just any answers, but the specific answers you need?
