I've been taking advantage of the last few days' downtime by knuckling down and getting as many of the details for my new business taken care of as possible. The challenge is that, the more I do, the more teeny details I realize there are to do.
I have a phone line and number for the business now, and a mailing address (a PO Box; while I need an address for on prescription pads, I don't want clients necessarily knowing my home address). I spent yesterday doing several hours of continuing education on using therapeutic lasers, and today I met with a sales rep to start planning on how to buy and implement one.
I've called my professional liability insurance and car insurance to update them on my new status. I've set up an account with a pet crematory/cemetary, sent in the paperwork to start accounts at two different drug and supply companies, and scheduled a meeting with a third. I've set up my work laptop, started figuring out how to use Windows 8.1, and written my new client intake form.
I'm not done yet - I still need to get my business license and open a bank account; the latter has been stymied by my bank being closed for the past two days. I need to actually buy the laser, and the supplies and inventory. I need my finished logo, I need to set up an account with a medical lab, write up a patient history questionnaire, and figure out pricing.
When I think about everything I still have to do, I feel like I'm doing nothing and never going to finish. But when I write it out like this.... I've gotten a lot done, too....
