#13 - Get my website business off the ground

This item sounds so easy and yet took me way longer than I ever thought it would. I've had this idea to do websites as a business for years, and it wasn't until last September that I began to make some significant progress on it.

Some of the more meaningful steps over the last 6-7 months include the following:

September 2014 - I became a member of Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan and signed up for their business planning course which was offered over eight weeks from September to November.

October 2014 - I quit my job at Wascana Centre Authority and created a Facebook Page for my business.

November 2014 - I registered my business name - Prairie Girl Websites & More - and registered for PST. My business cards arrived too!

December 2014 - I revamped and revised my website.

January 2015 - I submitted an application for a City of Regina Business Licence, registered for a GST number and set up a business bank account.

March 2015 - I received my 2015 City of Regina Business Licence. Ta-da!
