Any Lizzo fans here? Her newest single sums up where I am in my entrepreneurship journey. I've been fielding a lot of questions about my recent career change and how I got started down the path of opening a brick-and-mortar retail business. It might appear from the outside to happen overnight but in my mind, I'm singing with Lizzo. Because it's about damn time. 

This journey started in January of 2021 and now I am here, 16 months later putting the finishing touches on a million details so I can open doors and start making sales. 

I can point to a few key steps I took that really allowed my business plan to come together. Join me as I dive into three elements I think are universal check box items for starting a business: research, funding, and connections.
