Goals

The goals for this business were something that I had thought about, just not into specifics like the assignment required.  I knew what I wanted to do with it, what it would take to do it, and how far I want to take it, I just never thought of short term, specific goals.  Nor did I really think of long term SPECIFIC goals.  I had goals, they just were not very specific.  Also, in looking at this, I realized that my other idea that is associated with detailing, yet slightly different at the same time, is probably the better choice.  I have never heard of someone doing what my other idea is and I believe it has very high potential.  Detailing will still be a part of the business, but there will be other aspects to that business as well.  The more I think about it, the more I believe it is the better choice as opposed to a normal detail shop.  It will however, be much more difficult to set specific goals for my other business idea.

Resources

When determining the resources I will need for this endeavor, I had a pretty good idea of what it was I wanted to use for supplies.  Zaino's products are among the best, if not the best in the industry and since I hope to have the best Detail shop, I should use the best products.  I ran into a couple issues with the cash register however.  There are many different things to consider for it, and in the end, I felt the newer/better touch screen would be best.  Not only will it perform all of the functions I need, without any other equipment, it will help to show my customers that I am running a legit business and that there is nothing to worry about when they leave their vehicle with me.  Appearance plays a HUGE role in everything a small business does, so showing that I am up on technology is a big way to show I can be trusted with, most of the time, their most prized possessions.
