Hey, I just wanted to start off my brand new blog with a little introduction of what this is all about.  My name is Keith Kossack and I own a small finance company, Concept Funding, Inc., on Long Island, NY.  The name of this blog is "The Small Biziniz Owner" and my goal is to write about my experience, struggles, successes and challenges as a young small biziniz owner/entrepreneur.  I think this is a valid subject because in the times we live, being a small biziniz owner and striving to own a business is the true American Dream of our day and age.  There are millions(sorry, but I am not big on exact statistics) of us out there and there are many more who are working towards the goal eveyday.  So, that is my deal. 
     
    I have friends that grew up and wanted to be rock'n'roll stars, but that was just never really me.  I always dreamed of owning my own business and though I achieved that dream at a pretty young age, the dream continues inside of me in the form of wanting to take my business and future projects to the next level.  Now don't get me wrong, I have had low points.  Some too low to really want to talk about, but that dream lives on.  Now, I know this has been brief, but I want to hear from you.  When did your dream to own a business first start?  Is it your dream or someone else's?  When you opened your business, how did you feel?  Tell me all about your business, what you do, etc?
