Due to the lack of industry vendor support, the December 2024 issue was the final regular scheduled monthly issue of View from the Bridge.

Consider this issue as an inquiry as to whether you would like us to proceed with bringing you our guidance and experience, such as:

1. Starting a new business. Guidance that would be helpful in selecting a service to offer. Understanding that every business provides a service to its customers.
2. Hobby to business. Suggestions on creating a business from a hobby you enjoy.
3. Selling your products. Are you selling via the internet from home? Do you need a workshop for producing your products? Can you offer retail from your workshop? Do you think you can wholesale your product(s)?
4. Do you work part time or full time?
5. What is your selling experience?
6. Updating our teaching videos
7. Updating our website.
8. Making everything free, while relying on donations to continue our work.

With all of these considerations, we would like to continue providing our experience and services. It gives us old folks something to do. I, John, the writer, am on my 82^nd lap around the sun. Most of my life I’ve been self-employed; I still am. I love living a little less restricted than living solely on social security income. That’s why I would like to continue. But only if you, our readers, feel we can provide a service. You readers, as entrepreneurs or planning to be, are valued as independent thinkers trying to provide a service to your family, friends, neighbors, and community.  Our services are to help you continue to serve your community.

What we are providing is a portal where we can receive donations to continue our work. In the USA, you can donate at www.zellepay.com. Send it to my email at jhmcd1@gmail.com or m phone at 458-264-2421. If you are outside of the USA and are a member of GoFundMe , you can sent it to www.GoFundMe.com. We ask for your prayers for the most benevolent path for everyone. Kindly join us in that prayer. If you’d like to contribute, these are the opportunities we have (see above). Thank you for your prayers.
