Phase 1: Get set up and have the business engine moving
Infrastructure
- Set up business accounts
- Find more vendors and suppliers to work with
- Make e-commerce platforms look more official
- Set up work stations
- Create systems and methods to track progress
- Set up bookkeeping accounts
- Get a business vehicle (will be useful for real estate operations as well)
- Increase inventory supply
- Get banking situation fixed
- Obtain business car: I’m buying my moms car but it will need about 2k in repairs
- Set up work area
- Need 100 items listed on eBay so I can begin to categorize and look like a legitimate business.
- Get Etsy to 500 views per every 7 days. List more products on Etsy.
Currently obstacles
- Debit card for account never arrived to address. I was told I needed to go to the bank to request they ship it again.
- Credit card application is on hold. Chase is making this entire process a lot more difficult than the last time I went through this.
- I’ll be buying mom’s car for 1500 dollars, but it will also need 2k in repairs. This will be my business vehicle solely.
Once these obstacles are cleared:
- I’ll be able to start sourcing more inventory
- Go handle my real estate projects with a larger car
- Invest more in the business
