Small Business Owners & Entrepreneurs

your kindness is appreciated immeasurably!

I'm working hard on my plan. Swinging a little, in my optimism...

I'll be counseling with SCORE, the volunteer nonprofit association supported by the feds / SBA (go public commons...) who will help with the penciling out piece.

I think you have identified my 2 biggest concers: quality/consistency, and financial feasibility.

I am not in fact well bankrolled. The only thing I might be able to do is put up some of my retirement savings, perhaps 10%, as some sort of security. I am a year away from access to my retirement accounts, and 3+ years away from having our home paid off.

Unlike my last position (paralegal in a bankruptcy practice) I find I am drawn to anything / everything having to do with baking - reading, watching, listening. I believe I do have the passion. Do I have the courage?

Thank you!
