I am actually serious when I say we're thinking about opening an online store. We've been down this same road so many times that we just decided to get some action behind it. When I got home two nights ago, David had already done all this research on the boring (but critical) stuff -- like how to register your business with the county, what does the city of Mountain View require, etc. He's also found a web host and registered our domain name. Yesterday, he showed me a spreadsheet he drafted to organize all the things we have to do.
All these things added together would've frustrated me and taken the wind out of my sails. But because of him, I still feel like there is enough momentum to keep pursuing. I'm so very thankful that he's so organized and good with computer/web stuff.
Recently I've been keeping an eye out for products and trying to understand the wholesale world better. The deeper I dig, the more I see that opening a store, even an online one, is not an easy thing at all. It's definitely not for the faint of heart and I find myself wishing I were more skilled.
But I'm extremely thankful that I have David and that he's willing to share the burden of my dream.
