We all need a home to come home to and to come from a vital neighborhood so we can make the contributions and achieve the aspirations we were intended to fulfill. Thank you for adding your voice to this conversation. Hi Barbara,

I know Lennie is very committed to the "Think global, buy local" concept, and it seems as though she has a lot of company. No matter how virtually connected we are, there are times when being close, and being face to face, really matter. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Brad Shorrs last blog post..<a href="http://www.wordsellinc.com/blog/news/exciting-new-resource-for-chicago-entrepreneurs/" rel="nofollow">Exciting New Resource for Chicago Entrepreneurs</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Hi Barbara, Thanks for stopping by.

If Big Ooga is successful, it will accomplish just that. Karen, Thanks for the encouragement. Maybe Detroit should be next - what do you think? <abbr><em><abbr><em>Brad Shorrs last blog post..<a href="http://www.wordsellinc.com/blog/news/exciting-new-resource-for-chicago-entrepreneurs/" rel="nofollow">Exciting New Resource for Chicago Entrepreneurs</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Andrew, Yes, there is power in numbers, and when entrepreneurs and small businesses get together, they can be a formidable force in the market.

Newbie entrepreneurs cannot do it all themselves and no doubt require the services of a range of individual professionals in a variety of areas to provide the necessary services to assist them in getting their venture up and running. Although I have never had this experience myself, I could imagine that the process of finding reliable suppliers who can be trusted to fulfill this need and deliver service of a consistently high standard would be a considerable challenge, and many new entrepreneurs would not know where to get started or how to find such people. By virtue of the review process performed by Big Omar prior to allowing businesses to list their services, the concept will no doubt provide valuable assistance to new entrepreneurs within the Chicago area, who can then proceed to utilize the services of those listed with a high degree of confidence with respect to professionalism and quality standards. Sounds like an extremely valuable resource for entrepreneurs in Chicago, as well as to other part of your country if and when the service is expanded as planned. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Andrews last blog post..<a href="http://www.goodhonestdollar.com/thoughts-for-a-nation-in-shock" rel="nofollow">Thoughts for a nation in shock</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Lennie/Brad,
