How To Go From Idea To Startup To Full Fledged Business


Perseverance and stick-to-it-iveness.

We all have Ideas from time to time. We all get inspired, all of us. Then why is it that only a select few act on this?

I'm no expert but I believe those of us that don't, let the fear of failure and the scary "what ifs" keep us stuck.

Those who chase those ideas say to hell with everyone elses's opinions, if I don't try then I'll never know. And that is a good way to think.

So if you do decide to break away from your 9-5 and just go for it, remember the quote above. Because being in the thick of it myself right now and having many things go left when I'm steering right, it would be so easy to say "Ef this, I'm done."

I refuse to give up though,  I'm stubborn like that this time around. :)

We can do this!

Logo For My New Online Business


Sooooo, to Logo or not to Logo, that is the question.

As someone who is trying to get her company off the ground, I've decided that the money I have will be put towards materials, to give my customers a better finished product.

That is to say that when I decided I needed a logo I hopped on over to fiverr.com and went on exhaustive search for a designer that was comfortable with vintage inspired logos.

I had already created a (completely hilarious - I am SO not an artist) rough draft, chosen my colors and even knew how I wanted the placement.

Unfortunately the designer didn't really "get me" and the final product isn't exactly what I envisioned.

So to that end, and perhaps even until I can finance the logo I truly want, I will continue to use the place holder I created myself (see above) courtesy of cooltext.com for fah-ree! And I'll sit on the one I had done on fiverr, at least for now.
