Alright, I realized several things through the past few days.

I need a business plan.

Friggin' scary to write it out but I'm working on it. Currently, I'm browsing through RaisingCaptialSecrets.com (need a passcode and username for access, which can be retrieved in the INSIDERS forum) and I'm getting TONS of valuable info. I've also saved a lot of PDF files onto my hard drive just in case if I need to look at it some more, which I'm sure I will at some point.

So, I'll have to address all the "holes" and the weaknesses of my business idea and do some more research. Up until now, I was thinking like an artist but I'll have to put my businessman cap on.

And then I'll probably hit up some investors and ask for their feedback. I initially was going to ask the general audience but I'm not sure if that is a logical way to go.

Gosh, got a lot to learn about business but that's what progress is for.

Well, time to write up that business plan.
