[nabentre] Running your own business

[Laz]

I have a business named Accessible electronics and the web site is
www.talkingmp3players.com

I started it with my wife's help in 2009 when I started selling
Rockboxed MP3 players. It was very well received and we have expanded
our offerings to encompass other types of players such as the Victor
Reader Stream and Trek, our own Talking Book Reader, other accessible
if not speaking players, Bluetooth devices, accessible phones, as well
as phone service plus accessories for the above.

We have thousands of satisfied customers around the world and our
reputation is very good because were honest and we'll give up a sale
if what the customer wants to purchase won't do what they want. Plus
we offer free tech support to our customers.

I created this business with just a G. E. D. having dropped out of
high school. We make lots of sales and had out highest ever gross
income last year which helps pay the bills, helps keep a roof over our
head, and helps to put food on the table.

I haven't really run into any difficulties aside from a few people who
attempt to impinge on my sales by claiming they sell the same thing
and try to make it seem as though they're somehow associated with me
when they're not but these fly-by-night people go away rather quickly.

Another thing I've noticed has nothing really to do with business but
has to do with what appear to be a very small number of bitter and
jealous blind people who periodically email to tell me how much they
hate me, threaten me, and how bad I am. I believe they're the ones
behind the crank calls and credit card fraud orders I catch
occasionally plus they also seem to enjoy signing me up for porn sites
which all end up in my spam folder.

There are some people out there that react to a perceived success by
someone else with an overwhelming urge to attack and try to stop them
but these little minds can just be ignored as they don't have any
power to cause harm, they just believe they do and try.

Like I said they're harmless as can be seen by the fact that we had
our highest ever gross income last year which should show anyone how
effective their attacks are in the end. BTW there are less than a
handful of them that I know of so no need to worry about them. I just
laugh at their ridiculous efforts and continue making a living doing
what I'm doing.

Kind regards,

Laz Mesa
