I don’t think I should tell anybody that this economy is troublesome and many of us have been having a pretty tough time. I lost my position about four months back when the company where I was working closed down two of their production lines and my brother in law, Barney got his pink slip last month when his office commented that they were closing the doors for good.

Both of us spent a fair amount of time and energyon the lookout for new roles but with no success. However, we were clear on the fact that we continue to needed earnings to pay our bills and support our families so Barney and i decided to go into business on our own.

We had no clear concept on what this operation would be as my only real skill and experience was in producing washing machines and Barney had worked as a QC inspector at a candy company. However, my young neighbor convinced us that rap music, rappers and that hip hop approach to life was the freshest expansion trend in our culture today. Now I must admit that both Barney and I agree that the entire’rapper scene’ is just plain foolish but if it earns money then who are we to argue.

Somehow we decided to go after the jewelry segment of the hip hop market with the plan that we could start off rather small and just offer our goods for sale at flea markets until we could afford to open a regular store. So, our next task was to find a wholesale hip hop jewelry outlet.

We quickly discovered we had a significant problem in that we were a new business with no track record and no credit history which suggested that nobody would sell us any inventory except for cash. They were all extraordinarily mannered to reassure us that credit purchases would be available after we were established but it was all going to be cash on delivery at the start. We started scrambling then to find a fast cash loan today.

Well, we eventually got our money together. Not really as much as we wanted but enough to at least buy some starter inventory and get the project rolling and we had also found some promising wholesale outlets that we presumed we could deal nicely with. However, none of these wholesale sellers was in out town so we were going to need to travel which meant making airline and hotel reservations.

Getting the airline reservations was very easy and most of the hotels now subscribe to a hotel internet marketing system with online reservations that made dealing with them also pretty simple.
