Well, some kind of big news did come up. I had an investor meeting last week and it looks like he wants to move forward with funding my bake shop/restaurant. I'm starting to doubt myself and that I have what it takes to run a business. It may be jitters about my dreams coming true.... or maybe I really don't have what it takes.
My consultant has now become a good friend to me and has been mentoring me through this process. I feel he game me some valuable advice last week: How many things in life do we do without thought that we deplore? Yet dread our dreams coming to fruition. It is OK to be nervous from excitement and a little from the unknown, but take a big breath, smile and treat it like a roller coaster. Just remember to put your hands up and scream because it is fun.
Brilliant.
Other than working on my business plan and holiday shopping, not much else is new. Hosted a big Oktoberfest surprise party (yes, in December) for a dear friend... bon fires, German feast, lederhosen, DJ, german beers.... it was a great night. We followed it up with a bike ride around the city the following day... can't beat winter in Phoenix.
check out the new glasses!
