What now?

Since I couldn't continue with the Mayor's Business Permit, I didn't know what to do today. I knew I had to be doing something. I realized that this was the other side of being in control of everything. When you're an employee, you will always have people guiding or forcing you to do what you need to do. When you run your own business, it's all up to you. It's very easy to "call in sick" because there's no one to answer to. But I needed to prove that I have what it takes to run a business. So I decided to visit my soon to be bakery.

On my way to the site, I came across a steel manufacturing company just a few buildings away from where I would be setting up shop. They made lockers, file cabinets and steel shelves which was precisely what I had in mind. I asked for a quote but it looks like I'll be getting my shelves from them. It's surprising for me to pass through their building this whole time and not even notice their huge building. Anyway, that's one less item I need to search a supplier for.

Next, I went to the space I was renting where I measured everything. I wanted to study the space so I can plan the layout before buying anything. I didn't want to be stuck with a table or a shelf that would make my space smaller than it really is.

Then I went to a kitchen equipment warehouse. I canvassed for an oven and countertops. After that, I bought some office supplies which was also for the store.

Today's activities were pretty minor as far as the big picture goes but it's better than sitting around and doing nothing.
