We found a great small farm business class. It is very intense, but our business will be so much better for it. We are focusing on getting the mobile repair business up and running. So far, we have worked out that our business is feasible, surveyed people with ag equipment, researched our industry and our competition, and figured out our pricing and marketing. We are currently working on cash flow predictions for the first year and finalizing our business plan. We are also working on getting insurance quotes. We are probably going to set it up as an LLC. Oh, I also designed a logo, business cards, and made a quickie website! www.bearfootmobile.com

I learned how to set up a blog on WordPress. I used these videos as a guide. http://www.becomeablogger.com/video-4.html You could use a free blogging platform instead, but I want to be able to advertise and make some money from my blog. Basically, you have to get a web host and then link your domain name to it. Then you install WordPress, a WordPress theme, then plug-ins that help with functionality. I really got hung up on trying to change the theme. I’m kind of stuck on that it doesn’t display correctly when I look at it from work, but it does at home when I’m working on it. I still have yet to write my first post.

My husband and I want to run a farm, a mobile welding business and a stock photography business. He would do the welding and I would do the photography. The other day, we went to a class on starting a business run by the Small Business Development Center. It was mostly an overview, but they gave us lots of reading material. Tomorrow we will be going to an orientation for starting a small farm business. The welding falls under that since he will be focusing on agricultural equipment.
