We're Committed Now - Contracts Have Been Signed and Money Is Being Sent

The day isn't starting out great, but it might change. I know it snowed overnight, that means I need to get out of here in 20 minutes to give myself ample time to shovel before I leave for the gym. After my swim, I'll have a quick breakfast, but then it's time to deal with icy streets on my way to the bank. My shop bank is FAR away from me on the opposite end of St Paul. But we signed the contract with Travis to handle our business liquidation yesterday, and I have to get money deposited to send him a scanned check today. By the time we're done with all of this, we'll probably have paid out approximately the same as a house would have cost a few years ago. That's nerve-wracking, to say the least. 

I got Travis' book more than a year ago. 
I've read it several times, and there's 
almost more highlighter than unmarked 
text. As nervous as I am about this, I also 
think he'll do a great job for us. I'm counting 
on that and hoping he won't let us down. 

Of course we're expecting to get a lot of it, if not all of it and more, back in the actual sale. But that's still upcoming - not until next year. In the meanwhile, we're marking items with proper pricing, stocking things that we know will sell, selling things in other venues that we think won't sell here, and trying to work all of the logistics out without killing each other. If people say a divorce is stressful - try liquidating a business. 

Travis at Retail Sales Pro has been doing this 
for more than 25 years. His reviews are 
outstanding, the book is knockout, and if things 
work out the way they have for others, we'll be 
very happy at the end. Of course, we still have 
to get through to that point, and that's going to 
be difficult, but not impossible. 

But, somehow, we'll make it through. Not easily by any stretch, but we'll manage. I tend to land on my feet, generally, so we'll see if my cat comes through for me again. LOL In the meantime, I have a driveway full of snow that I need to take care of. So, I'm cutting this short and heading out to shovel. Have a wonderful Tuesday and I'll be back tomorrow.
