So I am actually really jazzed about this whole opening a bookstore thing
(which is probably an understatement. I mean, I am really pursuing it).
(I used to dream about this in college. Though, admitedly it inluded me in a slinky red cocktail dress, singing on a piano)
Would you like to see my initial business plans? Well, okay. In list form, of course.
- email Adam (my super business-savvy cousin) about start up business (check)
- get domain name (check – www.thebookling.com – if it doesn’t work now, give it 24 hours)
- start bookstore blog (check – www.thebooklings.blogspot.com)
- read books about starting up business (check – researched and added to my to read on goodreads )
- visit every independent bookseller in seattle proper to gather research
- perhaps volunteer at a bookstore for a couple of hours on the weekends – for one year
And that, my lovelings, is a great place to start, no?
happy reading!
love, madame bookling.
