I’m taking an 11 week course (starting next week) on “Launching a New Business”. Basically it’s a “write a business plan” class. I’m finding myself to be pretty excited about it, and I actually had trouble sleeping last night with all these ideas running through my head. I’ve been jotting down notes trying to describe my idea, and after reviewing them yesterday, I realize I had strayed a bit from my very original concept. Why did I stray? I do a lot of research (some say it’s my sign:-), and I’ve been trying to identify competition. I think through this my idea morphed and I had started to doubt my idea! But as I return to my original thoughts and concepts, I am even more confident about moving forward. The site is being worked on. More info is on paper. I’ve put together a list of friends that have started their own business. It’s LONG! I never really thought about it before, but I am surrounded by entrepreneurs. Hopefully I can corral a few to be advisors.

selfportrait.net is featuring Rob this week. I’ve started my self portrait – you will need to register – then you can explore. It’s a cool networking site for visual artists. You can post your art, and sell it too!
Which is a great thing I think. I love to let my mind wander in and out of all the possibilities. I have had many a great brainstorming buddies too. You know, where they get excited when you say something – you can see it click and they start and before you know it there are so many ideas on the table – and it’s no fun to stop. Who knows, you might need those ideas later.
I keep thinking about the business I plan to get off it’s feet in the near (oh PLEASE!) future. As I daydream about it and put bits on paper and gather up tear sheets and think about what it is I’m passionate about, the business grows. TREMENDOUSLY! Where do I start? I’m taking a business plan class (will this help me? – will I stay focused? – I think this is the real reason I’m taking the class). I’m talking with friends about the site, and I am researching like a mad woman (another one of my favorite things to do). Trying to figure out if I can do this on my own financially or if I need to start looking for fundage to get off the ground. Then I get impatient. It’s all together in my head, why isn’t it all executed. Arggghhhh.
I’m bummed that the clip-n-seal fish in a bag demo is gone from the site. It was a young Angela then and she’s pretty good as the star of the show, the fish did a great job too. Now we get to see an older (still quite young) Angela in the video bits from bikehugger, Angela and Bettie’s First Ride. Now that we live 3000 miles away from the bikehugger clan, it’s exciting to know that they are busy thinking up wonderful ideas to make this world a better place. Read about their good work on treehugger.com.
It’s amazing really. Clever design and excellent craftsmanship. What could be more awesome? Makes my heart skip a beat. Came across this cool zine. Love it. Neet.
Visited H&M and Tarjay (aka Target) today. Got the Izster some really hip rags. LOVED the Skeleton Hoodie. Some might think it’s just for Halloween, but we are going to try to wear it as often as possible. Pictures later.
