making me happy: soooo I have a retail business plan in mind since late last year, except with the expenses I have right now I just didn't push through with it plus I'm not inclined to compromise my time in my regualr day job. anyway, I decided to give it a go or at least try making contact with suppliers for my idea, and I got a few positive responses. considering it's all just a concept I was surprised some wanted to either meet me, asked me to correspond again once it gets going, and for one supplier- even agreed to make me a dealer even if I'll just end up selling from the trunk of my car.
then with the main issue of funding this thing: several people whom I like and I feel would be of help to this business plan are now on board. and I think we have enough capital to start planning and all that. the partners are actually more excited about my concept than me. I really hope this pulls through.
