I Hired Myself

Job seeking really is depressing. Especially after looking for so long to find a decent job only to find out that even local retail places aren’t even hiring. I’ve also become very cynical on the whole “Job Fair” and “Temporary Staffing” places. Honestly, how many people actually get jobs from those things?

As you may know, I sell Avon. I’ve sold it for a few years now and enjoy it. I don’t have a huge customer base, but I do have some good customers and occasionally get family and friends to buy from my Avon Website (pssst shameless plug).

However, I need to make more money. I like money. I need money to pay bills and student loans, etc. Okay, I don’t like that part about money (bills are evil). Regardless, I need more of the green stuff that gets hidden in a bank somewhere. Gold would be even better.

The past few days I’ve really been thinking about starting a business. Now is supposed to be a great time to do so, what with the economy being awful and all. However, financial experts seem to think it is a good time to be an entrepreneur. So, that is just what I am doing!

I discussed with my Mom (and now business partner) what we could start a business with. We came up with a name (will be released soon) and products we will be selling and where we can sell them. From there, we bought some supplies and a website domain name. We still need to go to the courthouse (or wherever you go) to get the business license. We’ll probably do that tomorrow.

All in all, it is really exciting and really exhausting. I imagine I will be even more tired when we get all the supplies in the mail, making the products and I have to start making the website (cringe). I haven’t made an actual website for years; hopefully I’m still decent at it.

To get you all excited about it too – I will let you in on the fact that I will be doing a giveaway with some of the products! More info on this to come soon.
