Setting up Glorious Gluten Free Foods.

I gave in my notice at work last month. It felt very much like holding my nose and jumping into an icy sea. It was very scary for a moment until I remembered that one of my favourite activities is jumping into cold water. Once I'm in and have started swimming I get that nice warm glow.
There's a few weeks to go yet; I officially finish work on my birthday, 12th March, but my last day in the office is Friday 9th March, so that's 9 more Monday mornings and then I'm free to start turning my business dreams into reality.
I aim to spend the next 9 weeks doing lots of planning; I've just been listening to yesterday's Woman's Hour programme on women entrepreneurs and the message has been plan, plan, plan. I particularly need to do more financial planning so I know what sales I am aiming for each month, and set up some spreadsheets to keep track of everything. I also need to plan some activity for the first few weeks after I finish at the university so I don't spend too much time drifting. Although working full time, carrying on all the other activities I do and setting up a new business has been stressful there has been a certain momentum which I don't want to lose. I need to have the time to concentrate on getting the business up and viable without slowing down.
So it's 2012 and I've made that leap. It feels very good and now Christmas is out of the way I can focus on finishing off things at work so all is left in good order for my successor, and starting my new venture.
