Starting Up

I'm back (and so, thank heavens, is my computer. I've missed it. In fact, I was tempted to write an Ode to an Apple, but I thought I would spare you all).

I've been feeling overwhelmed the last couple of weeks as we start this new business venture. Our to-do-list doesn't seem to be getting any shorter.

So far we've:

• acquired business number
• picked up loan forms
• started a business plan
• drafted a budget
• met with feed co-op salesman*
• opened business bank account

*He was really great. He's local, organic, and very honest about the products he has.

We still need to do these:

• apply for a farm number
• finish customer database
• start tracking expenses (in an organized way)
• mail out brochures
• design/write web site content
• take a deep breath!!!
