I'll be ready when my feet touch ground
Thanks for visiting us again! Let us know what topics you would like to learn more about. We are here to serve you. Happy Sailing!
Sorry for the lack of updates, this thing called summer is getting in my way. I had another talk with the general manager for franchise relations on Friday to get more of my questions answered. We are moving forward to my purchase by mid-July.
You'll need the tools for survival
Today I headed down to the county to pay $60 to obtain a county business license. They have our company name and home address. They also stamped it with “HOME OCCUPATION”. I feel better knowing my home is occupied. I wonder if the troop numbers will increase.
I continue to watch the price of oil and the downward plunge of the stock market and wonder if we are making the correct decision. The economic news continues to be dire and here we are about to open a business that deal with discretionary income. It is funny though just about every connection I talk to is thinking about, has gone, or is getting ready to go on a cruise.
Put a dollar in the kitty
Just catching up on what has been going on the past couple of days.
I have obtained an EIN from those IRS folks. I have reserved a business name with the state of GA. I have filed articles of organization for our LLC. I have opened up a business checking account, funded said business account, and ordered new business checks for from another vendor.
Normal folks doin' business in the normal way
Today was Father’s Day, and the family and I headed up to the neighborhood pool. We spent about three hours playing in the water, snacking on some club grub and enjoying the sun. One of the girls that went to pre-K with my daughter was up there with her sister and dad. Her dad happens to be a VP of field operations for a rather large partnership of Domino’s Pizza franchises.
Taking things the easy way
I have my first cruise sold. My housekeeper is going to book on a cruise for September 2009. Her and about 13 other members of her extended family. Guess who will get the booking?
