Today was actually a great day in the land of Time Trails.
You see, we've been grinding out on this business plan stuff for over 20 days...and many are telling me that is WAY TOO LONG to spend on a business plan. Well, its not. Not when the quality of the document will determine your financial future.
I went to the SCORE meeting this morning to review our latest version of the business plan and the financial projections. The advisors told me that our business plan was one of the best documents they had ever read since they started counseling. How big of a confidence booster is that!!
After spending 3 solid hours with the business advisors going line by line through the documents we discussed our next major goal: Turning the plan into money.
Over the next few weeks rest assured that lots of posts will be dedicated to my experiences (good and bad) at the banks.
The plan is to approach roughly 5 or 6 banks with the business plan, each bank requiring multiple appointments and meetings. I'm convinced we will get funded - it is up to me to make sure we optimize our funding situation...
After a brief stop at the museum for a tour (While Anna and Dad went to the park for lunch) Dad and I went to the Wichita State University Metroplex Small Business Development Center. There, we attended a 2 hour seminar an small business start ups. Hopefully this center will open some more doors for us.
