Week 11-Small Business Creation

Well this has been a much better week even though I've been at the Christmas tree lot every day. (Check us out on Facebook: Kunzler's Christmas Trees) I'm so tired when I get home I just don't want to do anything but relax. I managed to still get all my homework done on "Saturday". I know it's really Sunday morning but I'd rather finish it tonight than get up early Monday morning.

There were so many assignments this week. It was overwhelming to list them in my calendar. The one to choose a business was kind of fun but daunting to see how much money has to be raised to do something like that. To go from bill to bill hoping to be able to pay them to having money to buy a business seems like a huge leap.

Erick Slaubaugh was an interesting character. I stalked him on Facebook and he seems successful. I was impressed by him buying a little equity in the company at a time. I don't know if that was all that was available to buy or if he was doing it that way to stay out of debt.

The dry cleaning industry has hidden several quirks from me. I had no idea they were dealing with a toxic waste when they got done. It seems expensive to me to go to the dry cleaners and I couldn't understand why our dry cleaner looks ummmmm less professional than I though he should. This article kind of answered that question.

$100 Challenge Update
Well...progress! I have everything sewn that I have supplies for. I ran out of yarn on the last towel I had to do.

That's it! That's all I had left other than a little yarn to sew on the buttons. This turned into a good thing because while I was searching for a scrap of this yarn I found some hot pad sets I had crocheted and added them to the mix and sold one set today. 

I still have some dollars left to earn but I hope to be able to do that on Monday. I'm soooo close to my $100.
