General
For almost three years I have been working on my business plan. It has gone through countless rewrites, three trips out the window, and caused a mental breakdown or two. Now it is finally coming together meetings with investors are going well and they are excited to have the studio opening here. The complex part of all this is that my studio is the first of it's kind. The challenges are numerous as there is a lot to do and figure out. One of the major issues is that my studio is made to be cheap so I am basically undercutting everyone else in an attempt to help more start outs.
The next challenge is having the equipment I want in the studio I have already impressed the suppliers and company's of the equipment now it is the investors I have to explain it to. Not an easy task.
All this work charming people has brought a lot of attention on myself as people are watching me some calling me the next great visionary of my industry others going the a new Steve Jobs route (ya right) it just seems to be adding to the pressure i am under to get this done. with things getting close i am getting more excited and more stressed only time will tell how my plans unfold.

*HUGS* Yay! So close now! I don't envy the stress and breakdowns at all, I've had more than my share of that this year, quite a bit in the last 2 months alone. Hang in there! *HUGS*

Would you be able to bring some information on your business model? The demographic, product, and an estimate of how many years it will take to implement? Business plans aren't boring at all, I find, if one knows what they're talking about.

Excellent =) Do you have the names of the other investors? I'd like to get in contact with them regarding your products/services.

Sorry that I can't do as I am going through an economy development program know as the cooperative council. I don't know who they all are. I meet with one investor who supports my idea and is well connected. Their are meetings where these people go over 3-4 business plans in the same filed at once and raise the money by creating tax write offs. other companies I am working with will not make a comment till things are finalized. Asides from that I tend not to trust people with information involving me and vast amounts of money.

Odd, I can't seem to find your information in the database (no, I did not use CS_Silver).
