i chose saturday to launch my business because it coincided with my annual neighborhood block party.
i made a spicy chicken salad for the potluck. and then caught grief from my neighbors for not entering the chili cookoff this year.
after everyone had eaten i carried around a tray of chocolated dipped strawberries that i had made along with a basket of my cards and brochures. i talked to everyone at the party. at some point the proverbial light bulb went off over my head and i approached the real estate lady that lives across the street from us. she is a hard core realtor. one of the most known in the area and one of the highest earners. after i offered her a strawberry i said "wouldn't my services make a great closing gift for your clients?" her mouth flew open, she said "what a great idea!" reached into my basket and took about ten of my cards. then yesterday roommate L ordered a pound of the salad i had made. and last night when i went to sbux one of the baristas asked me about giving her some classes.
how cool is that?!!!

Sweet! What excellent timing. Keep it up. I can't wait to hear more of your culinary adventures.
WAY cool!
I'm late to the party here, B but am really happy for you about the timing of this new venture, just as the previous chapter in your life came to a close. I think it bodes well for your future success. And yes, that was a totally brilliant (!) move on your part to pitch to the realtor. BRILLIANT!!
Yay! So do you like have a foodie blog?
You sure are off to a running start!! Congratulations, Gourmet Girl :)
Sounds like you're rolling. So, doing a web site to promote your business (you can always email me the link).
