Unemployment Week 5 - Starting a Business
After setting up the official email for the company it really begins to feel real as suppliers and manufacturers email me at that address. This week I have been working with several manufacturers some for the supplement products and some for bottles I will be getting shipped from China. I never knew it would be so complicated to get shipment from China. There are so many acronyms associated with shipping it has been interesting learning what everything means. I have learned that DDU means the shipper is responsible for the products until it reaches the destination port. So if you are ever worried about the product not arriving or these days pirates can be a concern, look for DDU terms or Delivered Duty Unpaid.
It has been a busy week and I was sick to boot. This made focusing on the business plan very difficult. I am nearly over the cold now so this week coming will be another busy week as I need to make up for the lack of focus. I put a lot of pressure on myself due to the lack of output this week but I need to realize that I cant control the fact that I was sick and I should have spent more time resting and been a little easier on myself.
This week coming I am really going to get down to business and get the website very close to launching and get as much of the business plan done as I can. I feel like the week of being sick has slowed the forward momentum I had going for me after last weeks post and I need to get that back.
I have found that the more I get up as usual and shower and shave like I would when I was working before I get a little boost. I guess it kinda tricks your mind into thinking alright time to get to work. If I just lounge on the couch I find I get bored easily and I lack the required focus.
Thanks for reading.
