Good evening! Well this has been a week to remember. Seriously, who knew this time last week where things would be today? I called my husband at work and he asked if Oprah called. He said he wouldn't be surprised the way things were going. I cracked up.
Now, I know this is all very exciting and I am going to continue to explore these opportunities, but I also realize that I still have $0. Opportunities to promote my business are fabulous but if they don't turn into investor dollars, I am not going to hit my mark. No time for negativity but I did want you to know that I am not living in a bubble. I do understand that I still don't have anything, but I KNOW it will come.
OK so to update my progress. I was contacted by a senior producer from The Big Idea and he seemed interested enough, who knows. We were on the phone for less than 5 minutes, he had to run into a meeting and said he would call on Monday, we shall see. He was questioning what they could shoot if they came to my house. So this weekend I am going to get the office together and take some pictures and send them to Annie to forward to him. I want them to know I am serious.
I was contacted by a potential investor and sent my company information so keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. Should hear something in the next few days or so. I find this step to be the hardest and yet the most essential. How do you provide enough info/time to an investor before you contact them and ask for a final decision? I have decided to ask when I provide the info. Something like, I am sending you information about Loose Thread Stitchers, let's schedule a call for Tuesday to go over any questions you may have and see how we can move forward. I don't know if this is too in-your-face. What do you think? Any suggestions? Thoughts?
I found a potential $10,000 opportunity but I want to investigate this further to make sure I am not losing my mind before I blog about it. The concept is that you provide your business information and people vote for the best idea and if you have the most votes, you win. I will stand outside and pull people into my home to vote for me if this is a real opportunity.
Finally, my husband let me know that over the past 7 days I have yet to explain anything about Loose Thread Stitchers. I thought, he has to be crazy of coarse I did. Nope. Nada. Nothing. So tomorrow I am going to let you know everything you would ever want to know about LTS. Well not EVERYTHING but what we are trying to accomplish and why this $ would help so much!
Things just got interesting ~
