I’m getting antsy. I’ve finished my dissertation writing and have 1 month before my defense. Since I don’t have a ‘formal job’ to go to on a daily basis and I spend my days managing products orders, writing articles & blogs, consulting, and providing training services….I’m getting impatient to move in to the next phase of my business transition. That being, open up a physical address and start... 

One of my tools for getting things done is keeping what amounts to an online version of a whiteboard and making sure I add tasks to the whiteboard as they arise and then check them off when I’ve finished the task. Adding them helps me remember what I need to do…something which isn’t easy if you have difficulty focusing like I do. Checking them off gives you a little ‘reward’ for getting things done and makes... 

You may have noticed that one thing that was conspicuously absent from my update yesterday was any mention of my upcoming relocation to the Triangle area of NC. The reason there wasn’t an update was because I’ve been placed in a holding pattern. The building that I was going to lease is apparently being sold which makes any leasing agreements impossible. In fact, it potentially puts the use of that building in question because... 

Wow. Long time no see…and much has happened. I don’t know where to start so here’s a quick rundown: I got deathly ill. DEATHLY. At least that’s what it felt like. I’m still not feeling well. I think I got a bacterial infection from my father-in-law by way of my daughter. I’ve consumed more drugs, cough drops, and green / white tea then I had in the previous 31 years of my life. Normally, I prefer to go... 

Last Friday I trekked the 6 hours South from OH to Apex, NC to meet with Dan Kopitzke and check out a facility we may be sharing soon. The trip went great and if all goes well that’s where I’m going to end up. Here’s the low-down… I left the Athens, OH area around noon and with only one stop made it to my hotel in Morrisville, NC in just under 6 hours. Since proximity to my wife’s family is one of the major... 

Image via Wikipedia Tomorrow morning I’m off to Apex, NC to check out a facility. I already have a general idea of what it looks like inside and what I can do with it but it hasn’t stopped me from doing a lot of day dreaming about what I want to do with my fairly limited startup budget. Space won’t be an issue. I believe it’s 10,000 sqft with the option to expand to 20k sqft. I couldn’t fill that with... 

Ok it’s been a while since my last post and much has happened. I had a great Christmas and New Years and got to spend a lot of time with the family. I also did quite a bit on my dissertation after my advisor got my drafts back to me. More importantly though is what’s gone on with HPC. We’ve come closer to finalizing a deal with the international apparel and shoe company; caught the eye of a GREAT supplement company that...
