Well, I’m sure starting out right – not! Yes business requires a ton of writing, and not just business plans and financial statements. Let’s do an example: let’s say that you are taking a class (perhaps an English class). Being a student means writing a lot of stuff, right? You have to write things like papers and other homework. Well, now imagine that you are the teacher. You have to write the tests, grade the papers, and give reports and not just to the students but also to the school and parents. (Being a teacher includes even more paperwork, but we’ll skip that part for brevity.) Well, now imagine that you own the school! Send letters to parents; city, state, and other officials; donors; the community; etc. Keep paperwork and records. And then if you are a state school there are the billions of forms and legal stuff. Yep, running a business is like that. Not can, but is.
Now for that sad part: I haven’t been doing it. (As evidenced by how recently I’ve posted to this blog.) They say that if a goal isn’t written down then it’s only a dream, so this past week I started writing down some ideas for another business venture that I dream of one day doing. No, not my comics (although I should start writing my ideas for that), but an event hall. What a minute. Where did that idea come from? Simple. I’ve always enjoyed fantasy (dragons, princesses, fairies, etc.) and it dawn on me that there was no place in Utah for fairy-tale events. In other words there wasn’t a castle. Yes folks, one day I hope to build my very own castle. Every other little girl’s dream of a lifetime. So, if anyone has any great ideas for a castle (no evil or scary stuff please) then feel free to email me. Thanks.
Now I’ve got to get writing (including being better at posting to my blog).
