Are you ready? Are you REALLY ready?

Geek and Company (that's the corporate me) will be mostly ready in just a day or two. My two hypemasters are putting the finishing brushstrokes on the paint and shining up the last bit of chrome. I can't wait to see what their finished product looks like. Work on the internal structure of Geek and Co. has been occuring, too - a fledgling business plan, creation of a legal entity through incorporation, a bank account, a phone and fax line ... it's all so exciting.

I wish I could say that there'll be this big sha-bang next week when the majority of the prep work is done (I'm projecting to be TOTALLY ready to roll by the end of January), but Geek and Company won't be letting the clutch out until March. I want to have at least that long to ensure that I've got a clear plan for what I will and will not do, how I will make money and what I will spend that money on. Running a business properly isn't as glitzy and fast as you might think. If planned carefully, running the business will be mundane, sobering sessions compared to being out with the clients, doing what I love to do - fixing broken things and solving problems.

Even though I am approaching this company-creation-thing with careful planning, a clear head and bushels of good advise (and advisors), there is still that Damoclean sword of not finding enough clients to make ends meet. That's why I appreciate any words of encouragement I can get. Thanks Jane.
