Expert Profile: Val Newton

Expertise:  I can answer almost every question about start-up of most small and home-based businesses. I can also advise as to the legitimacy and potential income of the many "start your own business offers" on the internet.I have 35 years experience as a entrepreneur and was able to retire at the age of 50 due to the success of my companies. I love to mentor anyone interested in starting their own business. I will personally help you start your own homebased business if you desire my assistance with no charge whatsoever for my services. PLEASE NOTE: My expertise is with USA based companies. I do not have the knowledge to help anyone living outside the USA and Canada.

Experience in the area
I have started and operated my own companies since the age of 17 for over 35 years. My first company was one of the largest transportation companies in Southern California with two divisions, a limousine service with 12 stretch limousines and the airport shuttle service which consisted of 38 vans and 138 employees. This company was sold off in a bitter divorce. I soon started a photography business that became one of the largest independent studios in the nation as rated by Kodak. I employed nine full time photographers. We shot over 300 weddings per year and I personally photographed the late George Burns, Ringo Star, Farrah Fawcett, Heather Locklear, Tina Turner, Lionel Richie, Tony Bennett, John Stamos, Tommy Lasorda and many more. All of my companies were started from my home and with very low start-up capital. All were started from scratch with no outside help whatsoever.

Organizations
None at the present time

Publications
I have over 500 "Best Answers" on Yahoo Answers.com and many appear when Googled. I am also a contributor to Wiki Answers.

Education/Credentials
