starting a business in rural ontario

well, today i had a meeting with the director of economic development, tourism, and marketing for haliburton county (minden office). it's a very grandiose title for what turned out to be a very warm, welcoming, and encouraging man.

great coffee.

anyway, he laid on me a packet of info about six inches thick and i have probably one or two days to digest it before he gets me a meeting with the small business enterprise lady, who will be coming up from lindsay just to meet with me. i mean... yoiks!

THEN i have to meet with the small business enterprise program and then the haliburton country development corporation and then the ministry of agriculture, food, and rural affairs.

....


wow.

i feel very important.

actually, i feel rather like a fraud. all this fuss for a wee little business - i feel like i should be starting up a diamond mine or some kind of manufacturing plant for the DND.

although... if it works out, then it could very well turn into a half-decent business that would definitely benefit the local economy.....?
