Then over the next couple of weeks, I would start the process to place the coffee shop in my name - I drew a floor plan and submitted for a plan review with the county health department; I started making a list of all the things I need to do over the next 3 weeks before the coffee shop is mine. All mine.
I am really excited - the prospect of having something by which I can give back to the community that I live in is absolutely awesome-feeling inside. I find myself thinking that I am supposed to be anxious or apprehensive about quitting my job doing something that I've done for most of the past 20+ years but my insides are only excited. I get this jazzed-up feeling in my gut that says "wow! how cool is this!!"
Every day feels like forever. It's been less than a week since I filed my health department packet but it feels like it's been a month. The list of things to do grows long, very long. And seems to be getting longer every hour. I suppose at some point there will be no place to write one more thing down and I will just go forward. In fact, that's already happened.
Nick can "train me" on the equipment, along with the representatives of the equipment and coffee so I'm good to go there. My so-far partial list is:
- contact Comcast about WIFI
- contact T-Mobile about another line
- contact the city for the bike rack
- contact Clark Public Utilities about the electricity
- contact the city regarding the water service
- contact Waste Management for the trash service
- contact the landlord
- file for the state identification number
- file for the federal identification number
- file for a city business license
- open a bank account
- check into getting a credit card machine
- locate a whipped cream maker and cartridges
- make some chocolate syrup for mochas and hot chocolate
- find a small fountain for the front
Think I'll go fill out the state paperwork, since I can do that online.
