Help Us!!!

So Michelle and I have a meeting scheduled with the Director of the Business Center at Stanly Community College on Thursday. We have some questions written down to ask her but we would LOVE to have other's input and find those questions that we haven't thought to ask. So PLEASE comment or email us with your suggestions. And not only with potential questions but also any suggestions and ideas for starting a business in general. I can promise you that any help will be greatly appreciated. I have worked with children and art my entire life so I have no "business sense". And Michelle was a sales rep for a smoothie company so she only knows that side of it. We are continuing to move forward with this idea and dream because it is something that we would really love to do. Therefore, we would like to do it RIGHT so that we can do it for a long time!
We have also found a building that we both really like (love, it's perfect, just perfect!) to start our shop. I'll try to get over there and take a pic of it to post here soon. It's with in walking or biking distance and there is space above and below it for us to expand or invite another business to join us. It's currently being renovated but we are such suckers for an old building and we just see the potential seeping out of the century old windows. It's obviously not a sure thing... nothing is right now, but it's definitely at the top of the list!
That's all for now. Once again, please leave suggestions for us for our meeting on Thursday and we'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks : )
