Back in December I got this hairbrained idea to start a business. Slowly I started building it from scratch and studying business and accounting to have any idea of what I was doing. The business suffered a bit of a blow since I found out we were moving and it wouldn't open for many more months. Another problem was getting the money for opening costs. My grandmother had said she'd cosign a business loan for me but has never committed to anything.

Til now! She has a gift store and she is going to start selling my merchandise in her own store, within a few weeks! I will have 50% share in the entire business! It helps both of us, and now not only will I have one store opening in the winter, but another already running! I can't believe my dream of being a businesswoman is already coming true at such a young age!

Congrats. Sometime good things do come to those who wait.

Brand name baby clothes and anything that relates to babies. Toys, too. She will sell women's accessories and other gifts. Yes, I know it's a very girly store. But it's a good business. She had one years ago and it did very well.

This is the best news I have gotten in a long, long time! Seeing something you've loved and worked hard on starting to come to fruition is SOO exciting. I was doubted by so many...but I have to give a LOT of credit to my grandmother. She is making this possible. But the move is intended to help boost business for her as well, so it's not exactly a freebie.

Remember, just keep on top of things, make good business decisions and you should do fine.

Awesome sauce. Best of luck to both of you.

I could definitely use the money, and the coolest (and the worst) thing is, I don't have to be present for this first store. Not like I could anyway, since it's five hours away. I trust my Grammy. She's been running her shop for almost a decade and won't do me wrong.
