Day 3 and 4: Off For The Holiday!

Did you enjoy your Fourth of July holiday? I had a good time playing a bit of softball (actually umpiring a pickup game with my kids and their cousins), eating some barbecue and snatching some R & R. Today, it's back to work on the project - finalizing the design of the flyers, narrowing the target mailing list to the first 100 potential clients, and reviewing our e-mail lists. We've installed Quicken and set it up to manage the cash expenditures and revenues from our venture.

As part of the project, we will set up ten web domains as mini-websites and service resources for our clients; we haven't generated enough cash yet to pay for the domains, but the domains opne of three priority purchases; the other two are a new cell phone and voice mail number for receiving calls.

Day 3 and 4 totals:

Cash Position: $100.00 on July 1, 2006
Spent: Flyer design and printing: $50.00
100 stamps: $39.00
100 envelopes: $5.00
Cash balance: $ 6.00

Letters will be mailed by July 7. We're launching an e-mail campaign to 100 selected e-mail addresses; the e-mails will contain an attached *.pdf file of one of the flyers we designed. We'll

The goal: recruit and acquire the first ten paid clients for our new venture.
