Summary: Michael shares rare original notes from his book Awakening the Enterepreneur Within not released to the public. He explains why he created Who Is Manny Espinoza?, a recruiting firm specializing in giving Hispanic youth opportunities to go into business they never had before. ----------------- Michael interviews Bill Pittman, owner of Carole's Southern Charm in Dawsonville, GA. "A gift store like no other...PATIO FURNITURE, HOME DECOR, WOMEN & CHILDREN'S ACCESSORIES, SILK FLORALS, AND MUCH MUCH MORE.... http://www.carolessoutherncharm.com/ Bill says that his biggest problem is that 2008 and 2009 sales were slow because of the recession. So the store was "living off the inventory". Sales are picking up but now they're having trouble getting a loan to buy new inventory. They are supposed to be able to get Government loans, but that is a joke. There is so much bureaucracy that Bill can't get a loan through to get more inventory on the shelves. So basically they are looking for help with getting a business loan for inventory. They have been in business for over 6 years. ------------- Michael takes your calls at (917)932-8051.
