Small Business Association

Good morning! Well, responses and comments have been favorable and very encouraging. Thanks to all of you who have shown, and continue to show, so much support. Means much!

Received a comment about my profile pix. Seems that a photo of my standing there, like a deer in headlights while wielding a Chef's knife is a little unnerving to some folks (lol)... probably not a good choice. I will change it.

On a brighter note, I made a little progress yesterday. Went to the SBA (Small Business Association) website and found a myriad of tools. I took an assessment -- one of those "are you ready to open your own business?" questionnaires. I found it very useful in determining whether or not I had the right stuff for this sort of thing. The online test used my answers to highlight areas I needed to work on or focus on to be successful... good stuff. My next step is to take this information and discuss it with my new mentor. A lawyer here in Sacramento who is knowledgeable in this sort of thing and who has a few contacts in the SacTown business community. Legal advise is key to operating any kind of business. Thanks, Travis for providing the lead and for being a friend. [Travis & his wife Kim are a major part of my support network. I love them!]

Oh... in reference to my blog yesterday "relationships vs. restaurant" I have to share with you that I am one of the lucky ones. On the other side of the new relationship bickering and nights of "sleeping backside-to-backside, don't you dare think about touching me!" I had a husband anxious to figure out a way to make it all work out so that we could both get what we need. He is my #1 fan and key supporter.

All for now. Better go change this picture before Kim has me committed! (smile)
