I REALLY want to start this business idea of mine. Not so much for me, but I want to be able to take the profits from this little biz and put them into projects for people I know... I have a friend with a soup ministry and I made her soup jars because people kept taking her plastic tubs - now everyone returns her jars because the jar top says "Return to the Joy Soup Mission". I wish I just had the money to do the stuff for them - but I don't - so I figure this way I can earn the money to put into these projects... Regardless, I'm so afraid that I'm going to fail. I have started my business plan and I'm making a list of my products and I'm working on prototypes. My husband is completely on board and I have my required 3 months rent for the shop in the bank already, plus an additional 6 months saved. I also have enough saved for any more supplies that I might need in the 1st 3 months because I don't want to finance anything. I really should take a picture of this room because ya'll would just roll on the floor - there isn't a single piece of carpet visible - stuff is literally everywhere. I feel that I'm being led to do this, I just need some encouragement and hand holding to really make me believe that I'm capable. From a business standpoint I think I have made sound decisions, now its time to just show what I'm made of - and I am apparently chicken!
