John, Consider the Las Vegas Nevada area. Population approaching 2 million, 13 PTG members with 3 inactive and a couple of non members. Are you considering becoming a member of the PTG?

I'm currently a chemist in Shreveport, LA. I hope to have residual income from my current position when I make the transition, but a "paying job" is also an option at the beginning. I will do extensive research to find an "underserved" market before I make any decisions. I would like to see your attachements, Jim, but they didn't seem to make it through. You can try to send them directly, if you wish ( jodel at kairos.net ). I also really like the idea of "educating" piano owners: as a longtime player myself, I know that very few players know anything of the "innards", and what keeps them happy.

What do you do now . .? Where are you located . . ? I've been providing piano services for almost 20 years in my area of Ontario, Canada. I too, wanted to have my own business, and enjoy the benefits, both time, tax, and stress-reduction related. I found that there wasn't enough business in the area, and have always had a 'paying' job, until a few years ago. I came across a business opportunity, that fit wonderfully with my appointment based piano biz . . the kind of thing that if you need an hour, afternoon, day OFF, you are the master of that decision . . . I have always approached my piano customers with an educational slant when it came to repairs, and work on their pianos . . . if they understand how things work, and how, in this case they're not, then the route to a fix, and a job for me, ws made that much easier when they were 'informed. . . . I love this kind of 'teaching' sales, and when I came across World Financial Group, introduced to me incidentally by a piano teacher customer, their educational approach really rang a bell . . . I have attached a couple of articles for you to have a look at . .. no idea if there might be any interest on your part, but they make interesting reading . . If you have questions, feel free to contact me directly . . . regards -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Kinnear "It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived."
