Ron Clifton's Bowling Tip Archive

First off This is my third business that I am opening and am pretty well versed in business.  Being 21 does not make me or my site any worse of then anyone else out there.  I already have stated that i am just setting up the business and my partner who has been in the business for 27 years is going to run it.  I am a web designer and computer technician by trade and a bowler in my spare time so it only made sense to make a site.  If you don't think it is a good idea that is fine by me don't try to taint others view on the business when the site hasn't even launched yet.  As for the other sites that have been around, they had to start somewhere and sometime and go through rough times as well.  I can provide a solid service to people on the net who are looking for equipment and if they want resonable drilling by a local hall of famer then it will be done with quality and assurance from us that it is done the best around.  As for my mommy and daddy as you put it, i have a bank roll that can foot this site and i understand the concept of start capital and insurance and basically everything there is to know about running the site.  So at this point don't warn people about the site if they don't like the prices and quality that is another thing but it hasnt launched yet so mind your own business.

What aspect of business do you have your degree in? Also, how badly did your first two ventures fail? I'm not asking these questions to spite or mock you. I am trying to see how much of an aptitude for success your current venture will have.

Someone once told me that he would never trust a business owner who hasn't had at least two good failures under their belt. I tend to agree.

I am not here to start conflict like someone else who replied, but rather shed light on the topic.

"Themezz", you need to shut up and stop being such an a** about a couple of new online shops. The more shops people have, the more variety they have to shop from.

You cant make a judgement about anyone or anything if you know nothing about them. Who cares if he is 21?? Maybe he does have enough money for his own business and to run things properly. It doesnt take much money to run an online business. I opened one when I was 19 and ran it successfully for 4 years until I lost interest.

Obviously people are going to shop at the reputable places, but it doesnt hurt to try elsewhere if a certain place doesnt have something in stock that you want. Now, I wasnt able to view the bowleroasis site as it is under construction, but bowling bonanza has good equipment at reasonbale prices. My only gripe is that the web design is a little less than spectaculor. Other than that, it looks ok!!

I say good luck to both of you and pay no attention to the obvious A**. He is one who knows nothing about what he criticizes and therefore should learn to shut his mouth!!
