The last couple of days, I woken up feel extremely restless- like I hadn't accomplished anything in the last couple of days. And that's exactly right.
I haven't done anymore updates to the business plan for Concept, no more market research except for visiting this website www.regus.com to get an idea of how I want the business incubator to be set up. I haven't really done any more prospecting for potential investors either. I used to make it a point that no matter where I was going in the downtown area that I would drive the building where Concept will be housed in 248 days but I haven't even done that since I tried to make arrangements to get up on the roof...oh, did I tell you about that?
Excuse the fireside chat but I needed to get up on the roof to take pictures of the structure in order to send to the engineers at Roll-A-Cover. The only roof access panel is in the women's bathroom on the 3rd floor. So Alan and I got the ladder up two flights of stairs, into the bathroom and inside the first stall. He climbed up and I steadied the ladder with one hand and held the flashlight with the other. When he got as high as he could, he pushed up on the access panel and a little sunlight peaked in. I saw something fall from the panel and then feel it hit me on the forearm but I wasn't alarmed. It wasn't until I pointed the flashlight towards the ground and saw that it was a GECKO that had fallen on me did I want to scream. I screamed in my head because I didn't want to frighten Alan lol. I'm still traumatized...
Back to the lesson at hand though. So I came to realize yesterday that I have literally laid all the ground work I can for right now. It's time to bring in the big(ger) guns and put them to work. It's time to retain the construction manager so that he can get his team of engineers and architects involved; it's time to retain the securities attorney (who I need to call again) so that we can get started developing this prospectus in order to raise the balance of $1M for the project. It's also time to retain Terry Burton of Dig In Research (www.diginresearch.biz). I found out about Terry when I started doing research on naming rights in the for-profit sector- and by naming rights I mean the Quicken Loans Arena or the Ghazvini Center for Health Care Education here in Tallahassee (www.tiny.cc/tmh). That will be another capital campaign that we use at Concept to raise this money.
So, yes I have been quite unproductive and it gets me to feeling like I'm headed for trouble. But I've done all I can and now it's time to share in the power.
