Presentation

Today I started throwing together my presentation for this project, and I have to say it is looking good.  The 5 minute time is going to be rough. I have a feeling I will go over on time.  I think my presentation is going to be extremely unique... It will definitely grab peoples attention and keep them interested I believe.  Incorporating what I learned is going to be somewhat difficult for what I want to do with the presentation but I am going to make it work. Nothing new in regards to progress towards starting this endeavor or new ideas...

The end is near...

The end of the semester is having me focus more on my other classes than this business and what I can do to make it the best it possibly can.  It's a frustrating time because I do not want to stop thinking about it, but at this point in the semester classes start to take over.  Final grades need to be secured, some need to get better, while others are fine where they are.  Stress levels are fluctuating on an hourly basis, depending on what I remember, or who informs of things I have forgotten about.  When I am done with school, and can focus solely on the business while I am at home (prior to actually starting it), I believe I will be able to accomplish much more, while being able to enjoy myself more at the same time.  Once I start the process of opening the business, from the first purchase of a business license, to the building, to opening the doors, it will be a 24/7 task, which I have no issues with.  Friends, family, and loved-ones may not like me too much during this period, but it is something they are going to have to understand and deal with, because nothing is going to stop me from doing this.  I may change the location, or even possibly the business itself by the time I actually open any doors, but I WILL own and operate my very own business and it WILL be a success.

='( Winter........... )'=

Its that time of year again. The time of year I wish I was in FL running this business.  That time of year, is indeed, WINTER...  This first snow fall is usually the time I do two things: 1, wish I was back in FL enjoying much warmer weather and 2, debating staying in the Midwest and opening a detail car wash as well as an automated and/or full service car wash.  After a snow, especially if salt has been thrown down, it is imperative to get your vehicle to a car wash to remove all the debris, especially the salt which helps your vehicle to rust faster.  That is my 2nd reason for hating winter, my first is the cold and snow associated with it.  I can not stand being cold, so winter time never makes me happy.  It is also a very gray and gloomy time of year.  The sun is hardly out, clouds usually fill the sky, and that along with it being too cold to enjoy the outdoors, just makes it a very sad time of year, which is why I'd rather be in Miami running my car wash!

Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving break was extremely long and left me unable to think about my business really at all. I had to unexpectedly watch my two year old nephew, which kept from from doing anything.  Lately I have been trying to think of new different ideas for businesses that will change the way people do things, but it is not as easy as it seems.  Coming up with new business ideas is rather difficult, unless you have a bad experience somewhere and know a way to improve on it.
