Image via Wikipedia40billion.com is a peer2peer lending network for small business.Fox's Pizza Den, is the 12th ranked pizza chain in the nation.Enter: my dream. From the time I was 18 till the time I was 25 I spent a good deal of my life delivering pizzas. I worked for Papa John's, Dominos, and Donato's. Most of my experience, comes from Papa Johns.Ever since that first day delivering pizzas it has been my dream to own my very own pizzeria. Thanks to craigslist - I found a business owner in my area selling their successful pizzeria. It's currently earning 4-8k per week in sales. It's a small operation, and the owner mainly makes enough to pay his sons and their spouses to run the store.They have recently bought a new store, closer to their home and are selling this one to focus more on that one. In order to get the store, I need to find a way to raise $80,000. This isn't the easiest thing to do, especially with the state that the economy is in. We currently have a number of loan applications out at different local banks, but being the social media advocate that I am, i decided to try crowdsourcing for the funds that I need for my business.So, Can 40Billion.com and Social Networks make dreams a reality?There's really only one way to find out: Follow me on Twitter, Contribute to my Business Fund, or Spread the word - RT this blog post on twitter.I am immensely grateful to everyone who helps me finally realize a dream that I have had for over a decade. If you want to help make this a reality, drop me an email @ shermancurl AT gmail.com you can donate small amounts if you like via paypal, and if you live near dayton, ohio - I will give all who help freebies at the pizzeria.Even $5 from enough people would help my dream materialize. I don't want to sound like I'm begging, but this is definitely everything I've ever hoped for in my life, so please spread the word, tell your friends, and help one person fulfill his dreams. |
