Subject: Re: [nabentre] Running your own business

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
