Efficient Answers

The last 2 weeks have been a blur. Shawn and I have been working on our business plan non-stop. Working on it until 2am most nights is starting to catch up with me, as I’m having trouble getting out of bed in the morning.
The business plan is nearing the final stages. We have completed most of it, including the financials. We are hoping that next week we can get the final numbers needed to complete the plan and also we are hoping to have an accountant look over our numbers soon.
We’ve had quite a few delays while researching data for the business plan. Shawn, who is making all the phone calls, is having a tough time contacting people. And when he does finally get the right person on the phone, they can only answer one question and then direct him to another department for the other questions. It seems that Monday people are too busy to answer their phones and Friday they are never in their office.
Shawn and I are going to sit down and go over our questions still awaiting answers. Hopefully this will help us get answers more efficiently.
Shawn has also been calling some funding organizations to see how interested they would be in loaning us some money. This has been a little frustrating as these companies have websites that appear say they loan to campgrounds, but the people on the phone say they don’t. We are hopeful that a government funded program will help us, although we have been trying to speak with them and so far haven’t got passed the phone tag stage.
I should also mention that I’ve had 2 job interviews in the last week. One went really well and would be a great job … the kind of job that I have been looking for since 2001. The other interview went ok, although I don’t have all of the qualifications.
