I may have to change the name of Science Divas to Doing Business Backwards and in High Heels.  Like anything new, there is a learning curve to staring a new business.  All in all it has been 90% fun and 10% work.  I think we are making progress.  At times, we even recognize that we don't know something! Which is better than not knowing and not knowing that you don't know.  Kinda like doing taxes.

So, two friends, scientists and moms decide to start a business.  How hard can it be? We've watched Shark Tank (and wow! the back story on the source of designs used by the teen phenom is an eye-opener to be sure....something tells me the millions in sales will overcome any pesky copyright problems).  We've done some reading.  But mostly we've talked about what kinds of things WE would like to buy - and then we've gone out and found them.  When we couldn't find them, we made them!  So now we have two kitchens full of products.....just waiting......for someone to find us!

Maybe we really didn't know what we were getting into but life is full of chances just waiting to be turned into opportunities.  Meanwhile, the crazy guy with the home-sewn trash can lid got a deal from the Sharks - so why not us?

Just in case, our next project might be business school.
