Let's do this thing!

OK…so here I am my first blog…ever!!! This is also my first time running a business…ever!!! It’s amazing the things you learn immediately when you start a business. It’s like “Survival of the Fittest” and you’re trying not to be the zebra that get sacked by the lion at the beginning of the show! So for my first blog, I’ve decided to make a list of things that I have learned in the past three months…a “Guidelines to Starting Your Own Business and the Things They Never Tell You or They Know You Would Never Do It” of sorts. Anyway, here we go…

  1. Facebook is a timewaster!
  2. Your husband will want to spend more time with you than ever before…and no, 4 episodes of Star Trek will not pacify him…
  3. Join the Chamber…they are your friends!
  4. It takes more money than you think…
  5. You think everyone you meet is a potential client!
  6. You actually get tired of telling people what you do after the 50th time!!!
  7. Spend time with your kids…even if it is just two minutes for a joke…
  8. You will spend too much time on your business…
  9. You will learn to take your business card EVERYWHERE with you…yes, even the ladies’ bathroom…
  10. Enjoy what you are doing…This is a once in a lifetime opportunity…Savor it!

Well, that’s it! I hope this helps anyone out there contemplating taking on the role of “entrepreneur.”
