My fucking brain is gonna explode!!! Too much info.!!!

I am WORE out. I shouldn't be .....I slept for a good 8 hrs before...went to meeting with SCORE guy - eh...disappointed...I wanted some serious feedback on business plan and have a perspective on my next step.

Instead I got some ok feedback and a list of their classes.
He seemed overwhelmed at my business plan and didn't go over it. Thats the one thing about meeting with retired executives-its about them feeling good about helping you. I was farther along then I think he expected, he felt good to have helped and I left with some info...but I think he got more of it then I did.

My lunch was very good. Todd is the man who has 18 yrs of radio experience in sales AND moved on to his own successful business. He had some good feedback. Although his advice is on the other spectrum of the law firm. The law firm suggests I go all out, get the capital -hire the staff, get the office and make it happen. Todd thinks I should go more grassroots. Contract out to photographers and other artists, work from home while still working for M&I, PROVE myself, SELL some cards first, get the website going, get samples & create portfolio of cards/Posters/calendars etc.,incorporate with the radio show, keep overhead low. BUUT, to do that, it means having money upfront to pay for fees to photographers and other shit. Unless I use funds from radio show to get Inner Compass LLC started. He has his own business and is coming from successful experience. Arrgh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I got home at 3, went to take a nap and SLEPT for 2 1/2 HRS...and deeply...man! I am tired and kinda groggy...I think its part of relief as Todd sounds like he's gonna give it a try handle sales for radio show. He's gonna contact the operations mgr. touch base with him, listen to my demo and send some feelers out there.

I gotta keep plowing through this and also let it all seep in...
