My Work Here is Done
So, after a robust 90 minutes spent on business development this morning, I have set up appointments with the Denver Business Assistance Center and the Small Business Development Center. I have also signed up for seminars on Start-up Basics and Business Plan Basics. Seems the money should be pouuuuring in, any second now.
I am pleased and impressed with the enormous amount of business and commerce-related resources Denver has made available online and off. The city seems to be remarkably amenable to start-ups. For instance, the Mayor's Office of Economic Development is giving low-interest loans to encourage businesses in neighborhoods that are being revitalized - like Colfax (!), my mom's favorite place to buy malt liquor. It's pretty exciting to be starting this venture in a city so ripe with possibility.
But, as the Tao Teh Ching advises, "Here is the Way of Heaven: When you have done your work, retire!"
So I'm going to celebrate my early-morning initiative with a run and a coffee. This afternoon? More exciting reading from the likes of "Kick Start Your Dream Business," "The Upstart Guide to Owning and Managing a Bar or Tavern," and "Starting on a Shoestring."
Could someone please cue up the phonograph?
