Hello Reality!
Posted on November 19, 2014 Leave a Comment
My days consist of writing To Do lists and then, slowly, painstakingly, checking one or two “little” things off per day. Opening a new business is no small project, even when I have the basic business already established. Meetings with people who know more than me are the biggest things I have going right now. […]

In the quest to find the latest and greatest in pond supplies for the new store, I attended the Aquatic Experience just outside Chicago, IL this past weekend. I was very happy to find that once I explained I had more than a year or two experience in the field way above the general hobbyist […]

So, the cliffhanger from our last post continues. Yes, the hospital is still in the works! We have chosen a property that is new construction and should be perfect for our needs! The architect is working on the proposal and the lease is off to the lawyer for review. Until the lease is officially signed, […]

So, since it’s our slow season, my brain has started to work on some other projects.

How To Breathe Underwater
Posted on September 30, 2014 Leave a Comment
Ah, the quest for the perfect book title… My current writing endeavor, the lessons I’ve learned growing up, the trials to becoming a vet and opening my own practice, along with many side twists and turns, will eventually need a title before it takes the beating along the long publication road. My current title, “How […]
What is “professional?”
Posted on September 25, 2014 Leave a Comment
Getting a professional presence together is not a simple thing. In the last 24 hours, I have created this website, a new Facebook page, a new twitter account and at least 3 headaches. I then linked all of these things to my business site, twitter and LinkedIn. Creating all of these things is not the […]
