When I came up with the idea for starting this business, I was so overwhelmed and to this day, feel imposter syndrome every day!

But I keep referring to these slides to keep me on track. I have the audacity and the courage to do something that I have never done before! And even though the little gremlin in my mind tells me that I can't, I'm still going to! That gremlin has kept me from doing so many things in my life that it's not going to control me any more!

There's so much free information everywhere! I started watching countless YouTube videos, tiktoks, I reached out to my local government for websites that they recommended. And being a disabled veteran, I reached out to my Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for their recommendations as well! These are the best sites that I found to start!

Also, I feel like people doubt their ideas. It doesn't have to be a lifelong dream, if it is that's great but if you have an idea that YOU THINK would make you happy and you can turn it into something great, then go for it! Ask yourselves the questions I've put in the slides, and see how you feel. More and more people are shopping small and supporting small businesses and artists. People don't want to pad the pockets of oligarchs in our society. They want to support people like you and me who are trying to make their ideas come to reality!

I know you've looked at your bosses and wondered, "how did this lazy, weird dude, make all this happen?". If they can, you can to!
