Here is a little update on a few things. I haven’t had daycare on my first nights back to work so I woke up yesterday morning and didn’t lay down until this morning so I feel dead to the world. I don’t feel like I have been as productive as I had hoped to be. Kimber came over Monday and we were able to discuss a few things, and Lyndi got to play with Jameson and Zeff. We are going Monday to get our LLC. From there we can get all the necessary documents to be official and start making things happen! Of course Uncle Sam has to be sure to get his cut of whatever we make :). We are hoping to hit up a trade show in January, hopefully I can get those days off! Its really hard attempting a new business while you still have to maintain your other job! Kimber and I have discussed some really awesome products and our hopes and what we can offer that local people aren’t. For me, I want affordable gifts and décor. Who in their right mind can pay $200-$300 for a sign? Who has needed a gift for someone that you wanted to spend under $50 and you couldn’t find anything? These are things we want to be able to offer. We are still looking for the perfect property, who would have thought it would have been such slim pickins? We are currently working on our website and products, hopefully we can go live soon!
I see different Insta’s of people who have businesses and I always wonder how hard it was for them, what struggles they encountered and if they are successful. I hope that with this blog we might be able to help someone who is wanting to open a business, but doesn’t know where to start and we can offer information what we go through. Business is confusing! Of course Kimber and I both have degrees that are absolutely worthless when it comes to business!
Anyway, I have to go back to work tonight, it’s freezing outside and I’d rather be snuggled up on the couch with my kids, but I guess I will go to work instead!
Until Next Time-
Melissa
