Getting My Ducks In A Row

Well, I FINALLY have a framework for my provisional patent ready. I'm sleeping on it for a couple of days so I can revisit it with a fresh perspective and make the few changes I've thought of. It's funny how as a young person I was so impulsive, I would have submitted that patent the same night I wrote it. But over time, I've learned to actually ENJOY the marinating time. It's like a bittersweet test. Can I stand to wait, and can I wait to see if I'm satisfied? I just entered into the world of "enjoy sleeping on it" this year. I'm impulsive by nature, so it goes against everything I'm likely to do. I think that's part of the pleasure of making myself wait. I'm sort of disciplining myself and feeling good about it too! :)

As far as the process that takes place after the patent has been filed, well, I've been working, working, working, on that. I've got a web template picked out, a hosting company lined up, a logo in the works (a trade for services deal - you can't beat that!), and I'm working on my manufacturing and packaging contacts right now. I feel God's hand on me holding me back from pursuing this as an active production, but I feel very strongly about doing all my research and getting my ducks in a row so that when the time is right, I'm ready to roll!

In the process, I've found a lot of great resources and I'm mulling over how to connect the world with them. I may be placing permanent links on this blog when I transfer live hosting of poshpodsling.com to my website instead of my blog. Regardless, if you are in the process of looking for a website or a logo, I'm chock full of ideas and resources!

I'm also planning a product shoot in the near future. I've got three models and I'm working on getting wardrobes and products for each of them. I'll be using a local photography studio co-op in Arlington to shoot. I'm so excited to get back into a studio setting to work! This process is so fun and so far, I'm spending $0! God is awesome and He's teaching me how to accomplish all my needed tasks in unconventional ways for a whole lot less than I'm told it should cost. Praise the Lord!
