Make your ideas a reality

Well, it has been awhile since that first post.  We are trying to keep up with technology.  Anyway, how could it possibly take three months to become licensed by the state?  First of all, just reading through the application packet takes time.  Once that step is complete it's time to "git-r-dun".  Everything from meeting with the township board to get approval for a variance allowing us to operate a business out of our home to expanding our septic system in order to accommodate the daycare.  That was just so we could call the state and tell them we were ready for the licensing inspection.  Then the representative checked safety, paperwork, cleanliness etc...after everything passed we were issued a temporary license pending a final "nonscheduled" visit to ensure everything is happening as expected.  After the surprise visit we were issued our  3yr license.  Ok, so now we have the authority to legally care for children in our home.  Where do we go from here?  How do we get people to trust us?  Why will they bring their precious children to us?  That's where the work really begins.
