I must stay focused and make an entry in this log every day.
How I did it: I started by choosing something that I love and then found a way to bring it to others. I love shoes, wearing them, buying them, designing them. About two years ago, I started exploring custom designed shoes and started ordering my own. It was so much fun, that I started looking into how to turn it into a business. I read a ton, joined the small business development center and just started pounding the pavement. You'd be amazed how much information is out there and how many people are willing to help you. The website (www.ateliershoes.com) just launched at the beginning of the month and it's more and more fun every day!!
