Opening My Own Business- A Journal (Part One)

March 18, 2008 at 10:41 pm (Entrepreneurship) (, , , , , )

So, I have been quietly working for the past few months on creating my own Internet Cafe here in my tiny town. I have been doing a lot of research and today had a meeting with a group called, Annapolis Ventures who are going to help me get my project off the ground. What do I do now? Fill out lots of forms! Opening a business proves to be extremely complicated, but it is also really exciting! It is awesome to have an entire organization supporting me and it turns out their are a lot of similar organizations which you can find in your area if you do the research.

I am going to keep a journal here, on my blog to share my expeience with others so that I may help other young entrepreneurs and also to keep my friends and family updated on my projects.  My to-do list for tomorrow? Visit possible property, narrow down a location, make a list of renovations and email the agent, call insurance agents to get pricing, figure out food costs, make a list of my contributions and source biodegradable packaging.
