Archives for "Huge!"

Today I went to meet with my new small business counselor. Although it was only an hour it seemed like it went on much longer than that…I learned so much! I have to admit I was a little apprehensive; I never had luck with this sort of thing before. I had used SCORE.org 3 different times, and felt frustrated all three times…one person actually told me to stop what I was doing and just buy a franchise! What? No thanks.

We talked about what my goals are and what I need help with to get there. He was very helpful and gave me lots of acronyms that I have to research (I remember things better with acronyms so I was pleased that he was using them!). I actually have to develop a marketing plan, which I’ve never even remotely come near to doing. It’s a wee bit daunting but my adviser gave me the motivation to do it.

It makes me think of this interview I watched with Jerry Seinfeld once. He was talking about the episode where Kramer went on the show Murphy Brown…he talked about how they went there thinking “wow this is what a REAL show is like” and how they never considered Seinfeld a “real” show…more like they were just a bunch of people playing around on television. I definitely feel that way now…I’m doing things “real” businesses do and not just playing around on an 8ft table at a street fair.
