Day 1

Hello World! I have finally decided to do it! I am going after my dream of owning my own business consulting firm and I am a novice. My background? Well, I have varied education and experience. I have a BA in Psychology and a Masters in Public Administration. I have worked in the areas of customer service, social services and am currently a Project Director for an international nonprofit organization. I have also dabbled a bit in a couple of home-based business opportunities (jewelry and Avon). My ultimate goal, though has always been to own my own firm. So, what have I done so far to reach this goal? Well, if thinking about it could count for something, I would have had a very successful business years ago. So, I guess you could say I haven't done much up to this point. Today, however I attended a local business association expo and made a few contacts although I am not sure how relevant they are yet. It was a major step for me. As I write this I am filled with excitement and anticipation for tomorrow as I know that I have now made myself accountable to myself! So, now when my coworker poses the question "What have you done for your business today?", I will have an answer, no matter how minor. As I travel along, I welcome your comments and suggestions for my growth. So, I have attended the expo. What should I do next?
