I mean raise your seed money... I want so badly to start my own business but I keep running into brick walls (all normal) but it's been about 10 yrs. I was a single mom, kids are all doing well, been on the job more than 18 yrs. I have one more kid to see through her independence (in 3yrs.)...God willing I see the day. I want to (briefly): buy, rent or lease a building large enough to rent space to vendors, have a music venue, an eatery and play area for kids, so festive that it becomes a tourist attraction...an International Market. The idea, I think is brilliant. I live in Texas. What do you think? I would appreciate any advise or suggestions you can offer.</p><p>Thanks,<br>Tyshun<br></p>YAKAVISMon, 29 Jun 2009 17:43:57 -0000http://thederekjohnson.com/aboutderek/#comment-11846177<p>Thank you Derek for your voice.
