Yes, I’ve been an Event Planner over 8 years . I went out and spent 21,000 on remodeling and paint, advertising, rent, utilities etc. I was lied to, saying the building was grandfathered and don’t need zoning.. Well I lost it all in 10 months. So this video is powerful to help the next.. I’m doing all my research now, which looking for another building,, Thank for this Awesome information and your Knowledge ❤

Wonderful info! I made a list of city officials I need to call this week. I want to find out the different types of zoning in my area and what is allowed. I am also planning on speaking to the bank about being pre approved for a loan before I even start to look at potential venues. I feel like I don’t know where to start in a lot of ways, but I guess I have that game plan that will keep me busy enough for this week. I want to learn learn learn and I know your channel is an amazing place for that!

Hello! I'm so delighted you are finding the content informative. If you don't know where to start I have an ebook that can guide you through the process. The link is below or you can visit my website. I applaud you for doing your due diligence!🙌🏾🙌🏾 There are so many that skip zoning and that's a very costly mistake. As far as loans, my I suggest contact the Small Business Association; they give better interest rates and have several options for small business owners. For addition information check out my podcast and follow me on IG, there is so much valuable information on both of those platforms. I wish you all the best on your journey to venue ownership.

This is how I feel as well. It would be nice of someone will tell you the beginning steps on what to do first before getting the business. Like, get your llc/dba, get a business checking/savings etc so we'd already have that behind us. I can't find a video out that goes over the legalities and paperwork side of it

Hello. Thx for the advice. Starting a business is terrifying

[@bonniehawthorne8606]

Don't be afraid! Just absorb all the information you can and you will be fine. If there are hiccups along the way don't get discouraged, just learn from it and move on. Just know it takes time to build a business, list out your short and long term goals, and build an awesome team. I always tell me clients to utilize tools that will take some of the task off of your plate, start with a CRM it will do wonders for your company. Go for it Sis!

@@bonniehawthorne8606 thx u for the encouragement. My problem is, I want to do things quickly. I typically put the cart before the horse. My husband is great at slowing me down

[@bonniehawthorne8606]

@@AFFINITYWENDY We all get excited and want to forge ahead. I've done it several times myself and to be honest I made so many mistakes; they were costly to say the least, but I learned from them. Take your time! Do your research and visit your local zoning office to get more info on liquor license, noise ordnances, etc. Set yourself up for success by being informed! I'm going to be honest with you, there will be bumps along the way, don't get discouraged, shake it off and grow from whatever it is and BE GREAT! You got this, but take it slow!
