Inception, thoughts and First Post

Hey There Readers!

I've decided to start this blog in order to document the process of opening a small business. Thats the coles notes idea. But its all that and more- a labour of love.

I am a young 20 something women living in Toronto. I went to school at Ryerson University. After a long 6 years in university i finally crossed the threshold to "adult professional". Weilding a BComm in Retail management with a minor in Entrepreneurship. That moment of knowing no more midterms, exams, group projects and presentations leaves one wondering what will i do with this life. What are my aspirations, goals and dreams.

Entrepreneurship teaches to mix those goals (once compiled) with ones trained skills and aptitudes; all with a peppering of adversity for risk taking. Alas, such teachings have inspired me to pursue melding my passion, love aka. addiction to jewellery with my learned skills of opening a small business. A STORE WAS BORN!

I foresee it will be a simply devine jewellery/accessories boutique somewhere in Toronto. Via the aid of a well to do investor and the advice from friends, family and professional mentors. That being said I plan to open doors in Toronto September 1st 2010. That is with fingers crossed- that all goes to plan.

The main idea behind this blog is to document the evolution of this process. The trials, tribulations, failures and ultimate successes. To think in an open forum and hopefully recieve support, advice and input from thoes on the journey with me. The next blog will update you as to what i have done thus far- as it is the 3rd week of February! Eeek!

I hope that this is an exciting enough introduction for you. To entice you like bees to honey to read and comment along the way as i breathe life into my goal, brand and dream! Keep you posted my loves.

Wishing you and Team Canada all the best in the quest for hockey gold. We all have our dreams which keep us afloat and moving foreward. Taking us to new places and letting our imaginations run wild with the possibilities of tomorrow.

But, as a true entrepreneur it is important to always remeber that no matter the outcome, while at times great success.... "Failure is the fire that tempers the Steel of our successes".
