Everywhere I go the last few days people are talking about Coco's. The excitement is amazing. I had someone chase me down today. She cannot wait to see it. I hope people are not disappointed. I read last night about a little boy that is saving his allowance to always go to Coco's. Little Kids, high schoolers, Grandmas, Mom's. It really is the talk of my little town. That makes me happy!! Escatic.
I want this venture to be financially successful and to give me a career I love. If, my little town gets a boost of energy from someone opening a store. That would be amazing. If my taking the chance gets someone else to take a chance, it will be a dream come true.
Everywhere I go people mention how brave I am. I cannot tell you how many times I hear that I am brave. Not sure if I am very brave, naive, or just plain dumb. I am willing to listen to people. When people tell me what they want, I am more than willing to try to get it. I plan to continue to have Coco's grow. Bring in ice cream, later nachos, and hot dogs. Slowly move towards a place people can grab a quick lunch. Tomorrow is the first big step.
For every negative comment I hear, there are 10 positive. The support I got from some of my friends at work was great. Stacy, Taneea, and Laurie coming to help paint gave me a great burst of encouragement. So many other friends have been very excited for me. Tina gave me a couple of retro tin pictures. From that I found my decorating theme. Tru Stories has encouraged me to open a business for several years. She came up with the sweet shop idea. Coach spent HOURS working on the decor. My son even high fived me when my Grand Opening ad hit The Paper. My grand kids are more than thrilled. The Kid is very proud!! So many positive Facebook comments. Strangers in town telling me how happy they are. I have been feeling so much excitement and good wishes.
I hope to be way too busy ringing up sales to have time to talk to all of you that mean so much to me. I want to tell you now that seeing your faces will make the next two days so very special. I have felt the love and I continue to feel the love. As my grand kids says to me, I will be holding all of you in my heart this week-end. Thank you so much!!! I hope I run out of everything and have to spend a few days refilling my stock. I already have the second order of fudge ordered. I continually order candy. All your suggestions will be appreciated. Be brutally honest. I want this place to be awesome.
Come on in and, Enjoy The Sweet Life At Coco's. Now I will try to get some sleep. Still so much to do tomorrow.
