Captain's Log 00004
I am working on starting up a business. Its really early in the game so I am keeping a journal to document the experience, and also to give myself some accountability.
And I want to document the experience here on steemit for the following reasons: 1) With Blockchain technology, the words will never be lost. 2) It can be shared and 3) Maybe it'll help others or reach some who can help me during this process.
For those that are curious as to what type of business it is... it's a niche retail store. Soon I will post a portion of the business plan and provide a link to it.
If you choose to follow along you'll see what type of niche it is. I'm not hiding it by any means... but like I said it's a niche, which by definition means the type of store wont appeal to most people. I want the focus of this blog to be the journey of entrepreneurship itself.
I have been successfully self-employed for 10 years as a delivery driver, but that's a sole proprietorship with only me, myself and I. This project is by far the biggest I've ever jumped into head first. Complete with 2 business partners and a team of at least a dozen eager supporters. My main business partner and I have no capital, a little spare time and job flexibility, and a ton of passion for the project. We'll see how it goes, wish us luck!
What I accomplished today, 1/29/18
- A few days ago I set up an Instagram account for the store and played around with it to figure the app out. Actually have three followers, and the only thing the account has is the name of the store and a pic of an empty retail lot I looked at.
- Spoke to my friend whom I trust that is willing to help me with the website. He said he'll go ahead and register the domain and I'll just give him $10 next time I see him.
- Was supposed to meet with my two business partners but haven't been able to get them both in thee same place at the same time. That's not a good sign.
Overall not as much as I would have liked to report but it is what it is. I have a full time job and family so sometimes things can't happen all at once like I'd like them to. But at least some progress is being made!
It's a long road...small steps each day...keep the faith!!
Thank you, I appreciate the support.
I'm looking forward to hearing more about your plan. Retail start up is tricky.
Thanks. It sure is! I plan to post the business plan eventually, it'll have all the details. I just need to clean it up a little first.
