Dear Rondell,

What type of business are you starting? I’m interested. I love to watch people launch into the joys of own their own business. However if you you’ve never done it before, watch out, there are pitfalls as well. It’s not all fun stuff.

I think my previous post How to Easily Rebuild Your Credit and Have Good Credit Again should do the trick for you.

Please post your responses and follow-up messages to me on this in the comments section below.
