Business Extravaganza: Part 2

The Way I See It, I have been pretty successful in getting my list from part one checked off. Here what what I have done so far from my original list.
  1. Contact a land surveying company to survey our property. (No for some reason this wasn’t done when we closed on our house.)
  2. Set a date and get the land plotted out.
  3. Fill out the fence request to build form for our HOA.
  4. Price fence materials to see if we can do it cheaper than the quotes we have.
  5. Plot where we plan to put the fence and get rid of any obstacles that may be in the way. Ex.Trees, brush, who the heck know what else we live with woods outback ;)
  6. Set up my business plan. ~half done
  7. Look into making it a registered business with a name. May or may not be done.
  8. Pick out a name for the business. (I really already have this I just like checking things off of my list, haha)
  9. Set up rules that the clients must follow. Ex. All dogs must have all shots up to date and flea and tick meds. ~half way done
  10. Save money for the fence and all materials.
  11. Contact our old clients to see if they would be interested in using us again.
  12. Print out a fence plot map for our HOA to approve with the form from #3.
  13. Find out if I need a kennel license to run such a business since I only want to do this when people are out of town not like a doggy daycare runs things with dogs everyday being dropped off and picked up in the same day.
Not too shabby right?!? Here is some proof of my accomplishments.



My last steps before I get some little four legged friends here is to set up my new price list and rules for everyone. I also need to get a sheet that they would sign saying that I cannot be sued if something happens to their pets while they are here. You know the saving your butt piece of the puzzle. So hopefully by the time school is done I will be rocking a house full of furry friends. Due to some health stuff I wont be leaving teaching this year, but hopefully by the following year. That is a whole other blog.
