It is December 2007. A couple of years ago the seeds of entrepreneurial ambition were sowed in my mind and I’ve been fantasizing about it since. By this point those seeds have taken root and bloomed into a sort of non-committal curiosity. However that curiosity has enough wind in its sails to spur me into researching what it would take to start that business. I do have an idea, for a specialty movie theater. I’ll go into depth on that later.

To quote Heinlein: I am but an egg. How little I know about starting a business borders on the vulgar. At the very least I do know that ahead of me lays a long, rocky path at the end of which failure will most likely be my reward. I need to learn many things: how to write a business plan, how to research my market, how to get funding, the laws of owning a business. The list goes on ad infinitum.

I’ve decided to blog this entire experience. That way anyone can follow along my progress and hopefully avoid the pitfalls into which I will most certainly fall. I am also going to post any resources that have helped me along the way. The end result will hopefully resemble a nice resource for someone who is considering starting their own business.

I named the site ‘Into The Fog’ for the obvious reasons.  Eventually maybe I’ll rename it to “Out of the Fog” or “In a Bright, Sunny Field”.  But for all I have is the fear of the unknown.

I hope this site finds readers it can help.
