Hi Tasha - Looks like my pal Toni has been at it again. She's my best recruiter for MyWomanOwnedBusiness.com! Thanks for joining us. The greatest thing about this site is the chance to bounce ideas off of other women business owners. We had a great discussion going a week ago about trying to collect from a customer who wouldn't pay. Anyway, if you have a question, you can post it on the forum using the FORUM tab above. You might want to consider joining the SERVICE group. And please, pass this site on to other women business owners you know. The more we have, the better for everyone onboard!
