In a conventional business you will require premises. If you have bought an existing business then probably rates and maintenance are your two main expenses with the existing building bought with the business. If you need to rent a premise then you may require a refit for your purposes which may cost tens of thousands of dollars. This would depend on the type of business which may require certain expensive machine or electronic devices which could be various and very expensive. Then you would need computers and office furniture in varying quantities. All quite expensive items. However you look at it there are considerable costs involved when starting a business some of which will be ongoing. i.e. interest on the loan, staff wages and rent etc.

A few years ago, the Orlando Sentinel did a story on the shape of Florida schools libraries. Their findings were gloomy at best. They found that most Florida schools libraries were full of antiquated collections of books and run by untrained clerks. The publicity gave the libraries a tremendous boost in unexpected funding. Generally, half of a school library’s annual budget comes from book fairs, parent organizations, candy sales and profits from school supply sales.

After the food, the vicar got up and did a presentation about Jesus and how we can know that he really existed. It was a good presentation. The vicar was quite charismatic and pretty funny too. Then after that, we sat at our tables and had a chat about what the vicar had talked about. It seemed that all the regulars were pretty sold on what the vicar had said, and I felt like a bit of a trouble maker by throwing some new ideas into the agenda. It's not that I didn't believe that Jesus walked the earth, in my opinion, he probably did. But I don't think he was the only smart spiritual being to have ever set foot on our planet. There's a lot of convincing stuff about other religious folk from other religions. This concept wasn't welcomed I found, when I planted it on 'em. Now, don't get me wrong, they were a nice bunch and no-one accused me of being in cahoots with the devil when I told them that I'm a hypnotist (although that has happened since!) But when they began to discuss the power of prayer and I linked this to a higher consciousness rather than a higher being, I knew I was pushing my luck.
