TCB in a Flash
I spent the day outlining my business plan. Good times were had by all, especially when I realized how very little I know about accounting. Anyone wanna talk accrual?
This burst of motivation follows several days of "What, dear God, am I doing with my life?! WHY am I in Colorado?! Who would EVER give a loan or lease to someone with NO applicable experience?! Do I even WANT to open a bar?! WHERE is my liquid eyeliner?!" angst.
Well, at least several hours. But they were pretty heady. It's a strange little mission I've embarked on, but one which has already been beneficial, in several ways. It's just easy to get overwhelmed, and easy to be lured back to the familiar. I even found a freelance consumer writing gig in Boulder that I had to stop myself from applying for.
So, after getting some good perspective from some good friends, I kicked back, listened to the Old 97's (Tan Twhigg, YOU keep my world spinning.) and actually solved one of my MAJOR stumbling blocks! If I become a LLP, rather than an LLC (which is, naturally, how I just registered the name with the Colorado Secretary of State), then I can get my mom in as a partner, and include all her crazy entrepreneurial success on my business plan, loan applications, etc. Thus effectively masking my total lack of expertise!
Coat-tails?
Hop on!
I haven't actually confirmed this plan with the fair lady yet (details, details), but...you know. Full steam ahead!
Indeed, these are some crazy days, kids. Crrrrazy days. But each one is bringing me a chance to try something new, to deal with something unexpected, and to achieve something big. And that is all I've ever wanted.
Well...that and a Twix blizzard.
Either or, really. Not so picky.

Ask MOM about accruals.
