Creating my new Reality.

[RMarques]

I've been lurking for quite some time.. trying to soak up as much information as possible. But I'm at a point that I just need to pull the trigger and just get things moving. Life won't wait.

Thank you to first and foremost to MJ for changing my perspective. This in turn has changed my life because life is all about perception.. and there's no going back once your eyes are open! Thank you also to all the great contributors on this forum. I've decided the only way to really thank someone is to return the favor.

I've decided to quit being a wantrepreneur.

I've found a hole in a market that could use a brand that offers more value.

Just began this yesterday. Here's where I'm at.

• Business
  • Speed to market is priority #1.
  • Have an appointment with my accountant tomorrow.
  • Prefer to just start up as a corporation (no LLC in Canada)
  • Would like to have my tax strategies figured out to save myself future headaches.

• Brand Image
  • Waiting on designs from fiverr.com
  • Value added strategies assessed
• Product
  • Working on my first design primarily to get my process figured out. (First draft due Thurs)
    
  • I have 5 total designs planned to start with.
    
  • Done research on my competitor and ordered one of their product (should arrive Thurs)
  • Researched manufacturers on alibaba.
• Sales
  • As automated as possible for future scale-ability.
    
  • Amazon FBA to begin.. eventually integrate it into a webstore.
  • I'm in Canada. I will start with amazon.ca to get the process familiar.
    
  • To get into amazon.com I'll need an RBC US acct. Still unsure if I need a physical location in the States.
