An update

First off, I want to thank everyone for their support and encouragement on my future business dream. As it turns out many people also think the idea has potential in becoming a strong website. I've been spending many hours online researching successful websites and figuring out what makes them popular and finding out that some companies make big mistakes. One in particular was fined $130,000 due to collecting too much private information from kids. I won't be making that mistake. Currently I'm still in the process of writing a business plan so the status of the business hasn't changed however I'm now using a company to store e-mail addresses of those who are interested in becoming a future user. If you haven't signed up yet it's just to your right. My boyfriend has been a tremendous help in this area. He just seems to have the knack for preparing business plans.

On June 19th I will be attending a women's entrepreneur meeting where like minded women get together and network. Its called girl power hour and I'm so excited to be attending. I want to keep going to meetings and conferences to keep me motivated and inspired.

Yes I Can

“When was the last time you did something new for the fist time?” As of last week I had a hard time coming up with an answer to this question. However, in the last couple days my life has been full of things I’ve done for the first time. I have a website (not totally up and running but on its way) I have a business meeting scheduled today to discuss how to prepare a business plan. I might have found an investor that will help me launch my dream site and I’m helping taking care of a very well behaved golden lab named Rufus. If you know me then you know I am NOT a dog person. Things are changing very quickly and headed in the right direction. I think all this inspiration has directly come from the club I joined 2 months ago. I just needed that extra push and encouragement to get my energy flowing again. Last night I sat down at the SIP and listened to live Jazz while I sat out on the patio drinking ice water, my notebook in hand I jotted down everything I want my website to include. To see it all written on paper and to know that somehow this is all going to work out makes me think “yes Celia you can.”

I can now cross this off my list

I have some exciting news…I finally took the first step in running my own internet business. I bought the domain name www.lookwhatididtoday.com. During my last women’s entrepreneur club meeting I felt a rush of energy to really get my company started. Up until then, I was a little afraid to actually make a definite step and make my idea real. I still have to set up the site, but I will hopefully have it going this week. I’ve read many blogs over the last two weeks and now I feel like I can confidently blog with the rest.
