As Joe and I reflect on our lives in the last 11 years together, we know that everything happens for a reason. I have become a firm believer. We had started the debt snowball a few years back because we had so much debt and were living payday to payday.We started listening to the Dave Ramsey show, worked really hard to pay off debt using the debt snowball (it really works!), have an emergency fund and learned that you must not live above your means! I never dreamed that we would be put in the position of one of us losing our job, but guess what? It did happen! This is how the American entrepreneur starts, first with hopeless despair after losing a job, then accepting it and then deciding if it is worth it to go to work for someone else or yourself!
I realize many of you may be disappointed when you get a hankering for ice cream because we have started advertising and not opened up yet but it has given us hope that this business will succeed!! We have worked very hard over the last 6 weeks, researching, writing and re-writing the business plan, looking at properties, finding distributors of products that will lessen our impact on the environment and getting our menu ideas down on paper. There is nothing more exciting than being pumped up about an idea and have 163 other people as excited as we are!!
So, please be patient...we will get there and it will be worth the wait!!
