Mind Petals Entrepreneur Network
I was fortunate to receive an invitation to join the Mind Petals entrepreneur network! The network has had an awesome start and I anticipate its growth in the near future. Check it out!
I was thinking about this whole entrepreneurship thing after receiving my invitation. When I started this blog, I never intended to talk about entrepreneurship. I wanted to provide students with realistic advice on how they can be successful on campus… which would hopefully lead to a successful life as adults. Additionally, I wanted to write about the importance of student finance, covering investing, debt management, and budgeting. I need to write about that more extensively.
Writing on this blog, reading other blogs, and browsing forums have led me to investigate into an e-commerce site. This would be my first real dive into entrepreneurship and subsequently expanded the topics I cover on this blog. For my store, I have a shopping cart ready, a domain ready… and the site is hosted. All I need now is a distributor, a merchant account, a reseller’s certificate, and possibly an incorporation. It’s a really exciting time for me to be at this point! And I hope everything works out… always a little fear here and there…

Wow! I just love your attitude! Keep on living your dream and making the most out of life, we are happy to have you as a part of the Mind Petals Network. Lookin’ forward to seeing your business ventures unfold and read about it all!
I would recommend you look at using PayPal for payment processing. Tons of people have PayPal accounts and they also take credit cards.
I’m not affiliated with them in any way but I do use them for my site.
They have a shopping cart as well, which I don’t use - I’m just using them for processing payments. It’s not perfect (then again no service is), but the price is good. And, depending on what you’re selling, providing the option of paying with a PayPal account might be perfect.
Congratulations Dennis, that’s quite an achievement, this will defiantly boost your traffic being in a network like that, which is centered around entrepreneurship.
[…] My blogging leads me to look for other blogs of interest and other likeminded people. Doing so led me to Young Money Blog. The most recent post there was about the author, Dennis, joining a relatively new blog network, Mind Petals. […]
