My name is Josh. I am a hands on hardware kind of IT guy. Numbers do not interest me. I am interested in starting my own company. I started a new job as an IT Technician. I have wanted to be an IT for a long time and am ready to learn more. I love old school sweets such as Dib Dabs, Blackjacks, and Fruit Salads. I used to sell Cherry Drop candy in school.
My name is Jake. I play football for the Florida Gators. I started playing football in high school. I got a football scholarship for college. My college major is in chemistry with a minor in physics. I own a candy store that we are going to be expanding soon. I want to create a business empire. My favorite candy is Cherry Drops. We have a small online presence with my candy business. I've been married for 5 years. I am attending classes as well as playing football.
Have you thought any more about expanding your company online? I definitely have, although my lack of computer skills aren't helping! Your help would absolutely be appreciated. I would love to help. I hope to get my business going in the next couple months and helping small business start ups is what I am going to focus on. Are you finding any interesting candies to add to your shop? We're always on the lookout for new stock! Nothing stands out as of late, but I'd like to start carrying some exotic products like Turkish Delight and candied dates. Those sound great! Since you major in Chemistry have you ever made your own candy? I bet you could come up with some crazy stuff. I've been doing a cost-benefit analysis to going in-house with our production. I'd love to have that kind of control over our supply, but using store space to make candy is expensive. Maybe we'll start making some stuff at home haha. That would be a fun activity for at home. I bet you don't get to eat as much candy as you would like during football season. Is it hard to resist the temptation at the store? I'd eat Dib Dabs all day long. I've been known to treat myself to Dib Dabs after a win! You're right, though. I try to cut down during football season, as too many carbs slow me down. I bet, darn carbs. I struggle with restraining my snack intake throughout the day. Once I sit down to work on a project I somehow find any and all candy and snacks in the immediate area. Do you have any tips for controlling your snacking?  As cliche as it sounds, I think that moderation is key. Like I said earlier, I'll treat myself to some candy after a win. I'd suggest planning some achievement milestones during the week, and if you succeed in completing them on time, you can treat yourself! Those are some good tips, I'm thinking I need to start some exercise programs as well. I think once my business gets running I will need more energy overall to keep up That's a great point. Personally, I feel like my football goes hand in hand with my business. The consistent workouts that I do help to keep my energy up. Once again, when you're getting started, moderation is key. Maybe try going for a walk each morning.
