In this day and age, I honestly believe that every business needs to have at least one website or their own blog on the Internet. This way, you can point customers to that website.

No matter what you do, you need to stay motivated. Motivation is the key to succeeding. If you want your business to grow big, then you have to stay motivated. You cannot make a business by sitting there procrastinating about it.
