Dream Big

I have to admit that I am a bit flattered about how many people seem to want to start a cupcakery! It seems to be the dream of so many people. I am shocked.

The reason I am writing this is to let you know what you need to know before you start your dream. We seem to think our dreams are easy. That what someone has created is like opening a book and starting to read. That is not always the case.

I want all of you who have a dream to start it. I have to say you need to start in the right place. You need to start on paper, you need to start on Google, you need to start on the place's you do not find fun (like the town hall). Once you have fully done your homework THEN you can start the business. YOU can then potentially think about your dream as a reality.

I have told people to look at the SCORE website for some ideas. I know it is not the fun part but it may be the MOST important. People seem shocked that you need to know demographic data on your target customers or that you need to insure your space, or that you need to get a permit to put a sign on your door. YES, there is a ton of work that needs to be done, most of it is government bull shit, but that's what needs to get done!

I say to all you dreamers that you need to dream, then you need to write, then you need to think and finally you need to act! The action takes the dream to a reality but the thinking makes your dream possible.

I have urged plenty of people to look at my blog for ideas or to get a bit of incite on the work involved but.... who knows if they do. I truly want to help, I want all of you to be successful. The small business may be the country and the worlds only hope.

I believe in anyone with a dream and a drive. No matter what anyone tells you if you want it you can do it! It may sound stupid but I know through faith it is very true. I know all of you at one point or another have overcome some obstacle or task that you did not think you could. I know you wondered how you did it! But deep down I know you know how you did it! It was believing!!!!
