Oh dear mother of all things pretty! I think I’m starting a company, and I’m actually having a stroke at this moment in time. Of course, I knew it would happen eventually. I knew that it would have to be soon. But still – it’s a huge step!
At least it’s a step that has the potential of being huge. It’s a good idea. OK, so it’s more of an idea rather than a step. Hmm…what just happened there? I think I went from having a stroke to being in denial. I hear that’s common amongst fresh entrepreneurs. On the more serious note – I really don’t have a choice about it, do I? There is no way I can make millions without being a company. Living and breathing my own company, with all the rules and regulations that follow. At least since I’m not a criminal. Nor do I want to become a criminal [official disclaimer].
So far today I’ve ordered a starting-kit for new entrepreneurs. Also, I’ve been reading about taxes. Tax registration, tax laws, and how one can avoid them (my favourite thus far). Still to come is seeking advice from those who once were where I am today (stroke, denial, angst.), talking to my family about this venture, and also have a one-on-one with my boss. If my employer says OK, my mother says OK, and Other Random Entrepreneurs say OK – what kind of excuse will I have to fall back on? None.
Having no excuses doesn’t feel like a bad thing. I mean, if I’m going to write for a living I don’t see how many big investments I can make that might jeopardize my economy and future. It would be a different scenario if I had to buy a plane, I guess, or a cow. Or even a car or a house. The risk involved isn’t too great as per now. So far my business plan comes down to me and the hours and effort I put in. I don’t need investors to jump-start my brain. Although, I’m sure it would be very helpful.
Now I’m back to having a stroke, and it’s OK. It’s my journey, and I must embrace it.

Good day.
to answer your question there are various ways to tell the doneness of meats, i use the touch method, which requires practice and of course knowing what each doneness feels like, rare will be really soft and of course well done will be stiff. you can always use a t-stat (thermometer) or by cutting into it, cutting it isnt a sin lol but we do try and avoid it, instead of cutting it in half though just make a small sliver, like a cut and open it up to see the doneness. honestly the touch method is easiest to use and learn. feel the meat while raw and then cook it to well done, throughout the cooking process touc it from time to time and get a feel for it. hope this helps. shoot me more questions if you gave any.
ReplyDeleteA stroke of genius i hope?
ReplyDeleteVery interesting blog, do you mind if i ask what kind of starting kit you got? I'm new on this Blogging thing and have recently been researching the idea of making money online. Nice to find i'm not alone in this idea, and would be good to talk with like-minded people.
Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Yeah, let’s call it that - a stroke of genius ;D
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I got it from the government, actually. I don’t know where you live, but I’m guessing the US? If so you might want to check out http://www.sba.gov. For me the main issue, and the reason why I’m slowly adapting to the idea of starting a business, is the law- and tax stuff. So I’ve found it most helpful to turn to the lawmakers :D
I look forward to following your blog! Let’s get rich, Mike ;D
