On Friday I removed my final condition on the offer for the Internet Cafe. After dropping an additional cheque I am basically guaranteed this business.
Today I signed my final loan document at the bank, they managed to lower my interest rate from 12% to 11%. Realistically I could care less about that difference since I plan to pay it back quickly.
I also incorporated today. Now I have some margin of security to operate under.
I visited the cafe on the way back from the bank this afternoon. Apparently they have decided to close for the remainder of the month for “renovations” and will be “opening” in July when I take over. While this could potentially hurt business for July I am going to try to benefit from their chosen downtime and see if I can get things running smoothly before I take possession.
I’m trying to create some original content for this blog but it’s proving difficult. I knew that blogging was a challenge when I started but after reading the Happy Second Birthday, TechCrunch post on TechCrunch today it’s given me reason to continue. Here are some ideas I’ve been thinking of writing about:
- Compare and contrast video sites
- Metro News and how it’s taking over the world
- How to start a business in Edmonton
- Small business financing
- Where Google Adwords have their place
Much of it has been written about so I hope to create something original.
I have also been flipping through the June 2nd-8th issue of The Economist. I subscribed to it with one of those “6 months free issues” cards. Many influential people I know have recommended keeping up to date with it and it’s something I hope I can tackle because it is literally like reading a textbook.
The complications of this world are most likely beyond an individuals grasp, but I hope to harness some of it.
