What "CAN" i do today? seed=action

Posted

Every day i wake up and say, "what CAN I do today? I keep a notebook as this is a visual reminder to take action.

This list is ONLY of those things that i "CAN" physically do today. Steps i "can" take towards my dream. So instead of feeling overwelmed or just not taking any action, ask yourself this question; think; and then write in a notebook; and DO, take action. 

Below is my list by idea/dream of what i can "DO" to reach my dreams, so instead of sitting idoly by with my days and/or weeks going by and i do nothing. 

Seed=action, for me to grow my garden I have to take action and do something... anything. 

  • clean up space (make room); 
  • weed (out bad ideas that are crowding out dream from growing); 
  • plant seed(some action) do something that is productive to care for this garden. 

I have three dreams in the garden i am trying to grow.

Dream #1-my 5 ac 4 cabin unit- what can i do today?

  • -talk to code officer and find out any and all road blocks or open doors of land use and building.
  • -go to State program SCORE learn what they have to offer me and any knowledge I can gain; get a mentor that can help me set up the LLC business and start taxes for 2014
  • -go to SBA and talk to somebody. (i have sent a request online and havent heard from anybody) so i will make a personal visit and gain some info to see what they can offer me and teach me.

GOAL: learn what i need to do to set up business as an LLC and if I can get funding for the land through any of these programs, at any rate these programs can point me in another productive direction or agency that will be more helpful

DREAM#2 my $25 ,000 NEED to purchase business land for wild food business

what CAN i do today?.... 

  • -SBA and SCORE also will benifit this dream
  • -i "could" ask a relative for a loan of this amount, secured with the land?
  • -I will read some more today on BiggerPockets about alternative financing and raising capital

DREAM #3- my farmland purchase organic business idea

  • -SBA and SCORE will also give me some knowlede into this
  • -research farm land loan options in Maine
  • already talked to my son- he is in as a partner ck done did=action

My biggest NEED today is... 

Learn more in financing my idea's.
