Loft Living

I never would have thought, for me, that loft living would be an ideal type of living environment, for a person I know this was perfect. While I was working for a small bagel shop in Madison, Al. I had a costumer I saw at least four of the six days we were open. Know him by first name as well as by the same items he would order, always the same. He was one of the first to move into a "loft space" in  the developing markets in Huntsville, Providence. He told of his building having "it All". The maid lived downstairs. A barber shop on the corner. A independent grocery that delivered. Designated privet parking if you had a car. Just about anything a resident could want was at hand. But not a fresh bagel shop, which he missed from living in New York. That is why I saw him as often as I did. I guess once a bagel shop opens in his community in Providence I would not see him again. Note: The bagel shop as since closed, I really hope they get a bagel shop for him, he was a very nice person.

Little League World Series

Got caught up watching the LLWS this weekend. I remember the years past when my child was working toward that goal. But, this time spent watching the series was not  wasted. I was doing research on the different areas of the sport and all the way a person could direct a business. Not wanting to go in to details of my direction for my business, it just confirmed for me, that my ideas could be profitable!

Learning from Others Mistakes

During my life I have been employed with several types of employers. Major chains, privet owners, independent contractor even been a small business owner myself. Through all the employments I saw many types of management skills or lack of skill. Not sure how this reflects on me, but 4 out of the 6 business I have worked with over the last ten years time,  in the last 5 years have closed. 

My hope is to take all that I have learned in the "real world" and the new information I am acquiring through my degree plan and put them to good use in my own new business.
