It's all Business and numbers
10:01 AM
The day was Thursday and Boston was a little lonely without the sun in the sky. Dew swept across the ground, meshed with the sewers and climbed up into my nostril. The scene was Downtown Boston, Chinatown, Little Italy and MIT medical center. My quadriceps still housed pain from four days prior but I wasn't going to walk because of a figment of my past.
The reason for this run was of course to keep my health up but as a scouting of what was to come later. A meeting was set up the day prior by yours truly, for a unique reason. Business has been on my mind and a start up has seemed like a dream, to be my own boss and manage people instead of being a slave to another. The unique reason was to meet up with Boston's Score team and get some counseling. It is a part of the federal governments small business administration helping businesses get started, stay properly maintained, and give financial help. I'm sure many people are unfamiliar of this part of the government, as most people have no clue where their tax money goes. This Score is a group of highly successful business men and women who volunteer their time to counsel entrepreneurs. A perfect opportunity for me.
My run was successful and I scouted the large federal building where I was to be in two hours. Large, concrete, intimidating and unwelcoming would be an understatement of this building. The government subconsciously shows it's power in full, through it's building.
Fast forward two hours. When I stepped foot in the building, I thought I just walked into an airport. I got excited, was I going to Cancun? Hawaii? Wait I'm in a building. After that I found the SBA and waited for my 2pm appointment with Mr. Gold. Wow he is so successful that his last name is gold. I walked and met him and he was an old man that was very nice. I told him my idea of starting a tutoring operation where I taught foreign students English but in a practical sense. He liked the idea and gave me some ideas of how to start. He also gave me a few tips on how to charm people into giving you information while researching my target population. I will be starting my research soon, hopefully I will get it off the ground before summer.
Then I will be a young entrepreneur. Oh, how I like that word. It is a hint of power, a mountain of creativity, and a river of determination all rolled up in one.
