@Tom Quist what a great site to learn. welcome and the best of luck to you in ventures.

following...

Today- I continue to post as its accountability but also a record of how i got there- when the doors open, hopefully to encourage newbies and give you a push to MOVE forward with small steps if need be. Keep YOUR GOAL in front of you EVERY DAY!! and when you wake up ask yourself, "What CAN i DO today towards reaching that goal. ??"

so today what CAN i DO? iTs Sat.. cant make any calls or visits

#1 (goal business name, slogan, LLC by first of year and webpage)

-TODAY do more quickbooks catchup

- START work on my business plan 

-I cant make any calls as its Sat. so that is put off until Monday

-look at loan options links- my son will be home for two weeks, so in this time we can focus on applying on this loan for property.. so this one is put off til then. I CAN'T wait... i wish i could get it done NOW but .... i cant. so this goes on back burner for another week.

BUT "TODAY" I CAN work on updating tax files in quickbooks for some great reports for my business plan and I "CAN"  work on my business plan. 

What will you do today towards your vision? Remember you can only get there if you walk in that direction with steps. Write it down... and pick steps that you "CAN" accomplish today. BEst of luck to you in your adventure. :D

still playing phone tag with Jane. :)

did today- learning quickbooks to keep records. 

worked on updating  my mileage log

found an acountant in town i am going to use 

Moved forward. didnt get as much as i would of liked but i took steps and am getting closer.

11/13/2015 still playing with the ideas.

waiting for Monday so i can another chat with town code officer... clarify and get more info- to see if a tiny house development is even a possiblity. then i will go from there.

 Today is a new day- what CAN i accomplish?

Project #1 (Most of "to do's" are to establish business name, brand, slogan and creating a web presence) GOAL 1st of the year to be running as LLC, with webpage and to buy that land before Jan 2016 is up.

-update milage for taxes

-call Jane (again)

-Look for an Accontant to file 2014 taxes (I'm late I know)

-work on business plan

-call Attorney for an initial consult on incorporating

Project #2 (GOAL to have the general go ahead by the first of year- then put together sound plan so project can start by late spring/ early summer)

-NOTHING can be done per say until Monday- talk to code officer

Project #3 (GOAL to be pre quailified by 1st of year for farmland and ready to go when she is ready to sell in the spring)

-look over loan options reator gave me

yah- got quickbooks to set up after their support team wanted to charge me $150. I said no thank you. then i decided to try one more time and this time it started to download.

so taxes caught up. 

that is ALL i accomplished today. Lifes chores called me today.

tomorrow is a new day to get some more things done.  

I went to the local accountant to get my books set up properly and see where i stand, but was told they arent taking any new clients. so I need to look elsewhere.  

today- 

#1( for all aspects of business) #2 and #3

-get quickbooks set up

-figure out books

-work on business plan

-go over loan aps

-Call Jane (business counselor)

-Call attorney ( to set up LLC and trademark slogan)

NOTE business 1 will under gird #2 project and #3 farm project

Today I DID...

bought an accounting program to learn

went and walked the perimeter of the farm land- beautiful day for a cool brisk crunchy leaf walk in the woods. :D 

Love that freedom to do what I WANT today. I didnt accomplish as much as i had hoped but i did enjoy some fresh air today and was refreshed. 

Tomorrow is another day- I keep going forward.

baby steps needed today... another day to do some more. Notice the key word, "DO".  Have to put some actions behind that want, or you can't get there from here. Unless you win the lottery. :D

TODAY:

#1- for all aspects of business

-find mileage book

-call Jane back (SBDC counselor)

-Start, "START" to flesh out a business plan- do at least "ONE" section

#2 -I have to wait till Monday when the code officer is in office (country town)

- AGAIN NO SENSE IN WASTING ENERGY AND SPINNING WHEELS; I cant do anything more here until i find out more unanswered questioned with answers from code officer and planning commity- I NEED to spend my energy on things that I "CAN" accomplish TODAY.

#3- MY FARM

-check out loan options

-make application get pre-approval

These are things I "CAN" do today.  SEED=ACTION GOTTA DO.
