OMG!  Where do I begin? I must say that so far, writing a business plan has been a very challenging and eye-opening activity.  Justin and I decided that we wanted to first focus on a business in the entertainment/recreational industry.  Since I have never written a business plan (unlike Mr. Serial-Entrepreneur-Himself), I decided to give it a try solo before I called in the cavalry to come save me.  I found a very thorough business plan template on the SBA site, and everyday I work on a little piece of it.  With the obvious complexity of the financial sections, I have found the competitive analysis to be slightly difficult as well.

Bizzyness would like to send out a warm congratulations to President-Elect Barack Obama!  It is with great honor and humility that we acknowledge this moment in history that we were able to experience not only with each other, but with fellow Americans and the world.  We look forward to the possibilities that come with any new leader and the steps this historic event means to healing of our nation on the human level.  This is definitely one for the books that we will share with our children and grandchildren.  Stay tuned for an account of our trip to Washington, D.C. for the inauguration on January 20th, 2009.

 In keeping with the spirit of our site, Bizzyness would like to recognize Barack and Michelle Obama for being such an outstanding Power Couple.  Their love shines through and through, but their dedication to each other’s success can not be ignored.

The past 21 months have been a very exciting time for citizens in the U.S.  It has been a long hard-fought campaign by both parties and very emotional and energetic for voters.  We encourage all of our readers to get out and vote on tomorrow if you haven’t already.  Either path we decide to take as a country will prove to be historical.  Don’t miss your chance to be a part of history.  No individual is insignificant in this election…YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!

Cheers,

Justin & Akuba
