Scatter Brain, confusion and brain farts

So it is taking time to get all these bottlecaps out of the house.
Along side bottlecaps I also have a tower of over 100 CD's, a huge stake of cigar boxes. So many beads I can open my own shop. Glues, glitters and frilly things all over the place.

My imagination is taking over the house, everywhere you look there are crafts to be made or ideas floating around. Yet there is not enough time in the day to finish them all or to even start it, not with the scattered brain I have. So while my crafts are running wild and rampant in the house I thought I would leave them to their own device and start on a dream of mine which, believe it or not, does not involve bringing anything into the house in the way of junk to recycle or make into crafts!

So here I am lovely weather outside, arranged my crafts so it is actually a little organized and I am sitting here writing a business plan for my dream shop. It had always been a dream of mine to have a business but I have had so many ideas over the years it is hard to stick to one idea for a business. I don't know if it will come to light. I would like it to, but writing a business plan is just insanity! Nothing is exact, maybe the rent for the shop but that is about it, the rest is guess"timating" , for example how the heck am I meant to know how many people will enter my shop and spend on average of "so many dollars"? If I knew that I would hike the prices up to get out of debt and a millionaire in 12 months! This is just insane I don't know how anyone has ever written a business plan. Then there is the problem of location, looking into where you will do best.

My business idea does not matter if it is in town or out of town but with everything comes a problem, in town you have expensive rent, but then you have the locals walking past all day and the chance they will walk in maybe buy something. Then there is out of town, smaller chances of people walking past, then it is a low rent but higher in advertising costs to get people to you. Oh life, why is it meant to be so hard? Oh my head is spinning right now and I really don't know what direction to go in but I know I have to keep busy and head towards my dream no matter how far away it may seem. I need to try to focus on less things but keep an eye on my goal! Blah, this thing called life.

Well I don't know my arse from a whole in the ground when it comes to writing a business plan but you know I'm definitely up for doing whatever I can to help you! But its not crazy to start writing out your plan. It shows you the different goals you need to accomplish and it puts things into perspective just a little bit better. My father told me just the other day..."If you can dream it and if you can think about it, you can achieve it!" So take those words of advice girly! Love you much much much and miss you much much much!
