LOL! No it's not. Again, big talk from someone who's never done it. Show me where I said a business shouldn't have an online presence. Of course it should. The comment I made that got you and Austin all cheesed had to do with just one of the multitude of challenges a small business owner is faced with on a constant basis, that being the "rock bottom price for everything, no matter what" mentality that has become pervasive among modern consumers. This and all the other challenges that have so far gone unmentioned make it unbelievably difficult, if not impossible, to survive as a small business owner. Only a minute percentage of the population have what it takes to be a truly successful entrepreneur. Popping off on an internet message board about risks and real-life local evidence doesn't qualify.
