Better than complaining about wasting time hunting job openings, unemployed professionals now discover clients for their own start-up business! Some people only needed maybe two hundred dollars to start a small profit because they didn’t have to pay anyone’s salary. Business start-up incubators give you free Internet, phones, conference rooms, furnished suites, advice, libraries and more until you break even. Incubators like www.NearI80.com help start-ups grow, creating more jobs. Check out Solano Small Business Development Center 707 864-3382. Get free help jotting a business plan promoting whatever you’re good at. Note, some commercial brokers only show their rental listings. City Hall helps bigger companies lease cost effective commercial space, but hides a smarter location if it’s in a neighboring Solano city. Get government info, and Solano business directory at www.californiabusinesscenters.com/INFORESOURCE.html. It also has economic development and a business article database. Take your first step. Make it happen.
