Brian decided that he was fighting a losing battle. “So tell me what you’ve done so far.”

Andy responded, “I’ve got a pretty good set of supplies and tools already as the wife and kids give me them for Christmas and birthdays. I’ve recently purchased a cabinet with all sorts of drawers and dividers to organize myself and a workbench and work stool that ought to help me do it better. There’s an empty store front on Main that has pretty reasonable rent.

”I also signed up for a small business class at the local university. We haven’t covered much yet, but I’m already thinking about business plans and marketing plans and such. This course will help me do this and there’s a local SCORE chapter with all these retired business people who will help me if I run into problems.”
