Problems and Progress

This week has been ups and downs all the way along. I learned that franchising is not for me. I am not really interested in a hybrid entrepreneurial/still have your own boss type of venture. I really enjoy the thrill and the adventure of creating an idea and a dream and creating it from the ground up. I like to create the problem and solve it rather than just manage it. I also was reminded, through my own personal ventures, that it is important to obtain financing for your business long before you need it. I am currently in a jam for one of my companies as I have business and need the funding to follow it through. I know it will work out as I work hard and pray harder but for now its a little frustrating. My 100 dollar challenge is going well. I started selling more of the same jeep part that I sold before but still have not sold my tires. I am working on a solution to get a better turn over rate. Maybe I need a new audience/market. I am going to approach the dealership and see if they will allow me to sell them outside their dealership in a little display. Its a bit of a long shot but it could work. I am working hard to make my 100 dollars and I think I'm on track but it will be close. I am also trying to define my dream. What is really important to me? Who do I want to become and how can my business ideas help me to sustain that?
