Entrepreneur Bug

I realized this week that I am fascinated by entrepreneurs.  Reading about Roxanne Quimby was fascinating to me because it’s as if she put all personal matters aside and followed her business wherever it needed to go.  I can’t ever imagine being that risky and bold but that’s what needed to be done for her business to see the success it had.  I think I will probably be a bit more conservative and I got to thinking that I hope it will not hinder me in my endeavors.

I also realized this week that this course has really changed not only the way I think but also my husband.  We both have entrepreneur glasses on now!  We are constantly observing and thinking of ways to change and improve what we see around us.  That is really cool!

I have been sick this week.  Being sick and baking don’t really go along so I have taken the week off from my business.  That is a nice option to have and only possible since I have only been taking orders based on if I’m baking.  For instance, I will post on Facebook that I am baking on a certain day that week and then people tell me what they want.  I’m feeling better and am thinking about doing bread only this week for those that want it for Thanksgiving.  I make the most profit from the bread and so this would be an easy way to boost my profits.

So my numbers remain the same as last week: I have sold $206 worth of products with a cost of $72.75 for a net profit of $133.25!!

One problem I am having is that two customer have yet to pay me.  One is a repeat customer and both are good for the money, but still a bit frustrating none the less.  This is the downside to doing business with your friends and acquaintances.
