The business of business

Boy! It's been a crazy 2 weeks...setting up business accounts, working with my web designer, new business cards, filing with the State, IRS, etc...I have a new found appreciation for folks who run their own business. I knew there would be a lot involved...but man there's more than I ever thought!

I thank God I have a wonderful friend who is also my CPA, financial planner, and tax advisor! I told her the other day if it weren't for her - I would have very likely been stopped in my tracks by the sheer frustration and confusion of all the forms, calls, faxing, paperwork, errands and stuff involved with just starting a business.

It has been so difficult to stay focused on the real purpose for doing all of this.  I've spent far more time doing the "business stuff" than the actual work I want to be doing. What has kept me going is the continuing support and surprising new opportunities I never thought were available. 

I was in my credit union last week to setup a business account and later was introduced to the Financial Services Rep who after me telling her about my new business, she says I should send them some info about the career transition seminars I'm working on as they might be a good fit for the monthly seminars the credit union sponsors for their members.  Wow...so cool!

I hope I can just keep up!
