The next challenge in this adventure was setting up my house as a make shift office. This tasks would be more difficult than finding customers, as we have two households crammed into one.
That's five people, one that is a major pack rat, and five animals into about 1100 sq. ft. yeah, can you feel the overflowing of excitement? It took all of us to re-arrange furniture, pack up and move out unneeded items and send to storage, and come up some kind of organization tools, such as notebooks, binders and the like, to keep up with everything.
It must have taken us about a week to really get everything set up (and we are still working on it.)That's another thing, you are always thinking of another way to make things run just a little smoother. Now, at two weeks into this new life, we place the first order.
And that is where we will pick up next time...the first order.

Testing the Waters
I, like a lot of people, have been struggling to find the ways and means to make ends meat. I had just landed a good position, when I was injured. Since then, I have been trying to find a way to bring in some extra income.
I was sitting at home one evening feeling sorry for myself, when a commercial (that I had seen many times before, but never really heard) caught my attention. I decided this was something I could do/handle and ran to my computer, typed in the address, and proceeded to fill out the little form that popped up. I was very excited the next day when I received that phone call and realized that I did not need $400 or so dollars to get started. I set an in person appointment for the next day, got there, singed all the paper work, paid my minimal (and I do mean minimal) fee, and began putting my strategy into play.
The first thing I needed to do was establish contacts/customers. The major problem with this is that I was only given a few start-up supplies for my minimal fee. I handed out what I did have, then ran home to set up my "home office".
And that is where we will pick up next time...setting up the "home office".
