So its Monday afternoon and I was on the phone trying to get donations for give-aways for my site. I called Walmart and they said that I had to be an official non profit to accept donations so I went to the website and found the forms then it said I had to have at least 3 directors at all times so I was like, “Who is going to be a director of my company? Who do I trust like that?”
Then I called Mimi to ask if she’d do it. She said Yes. Now I can’t decide who will be the other director.
So I called the Homeless shelter to speak with the owner and he said he can teach me how to set myself up to accept donations but in the meantime I can use his foundation’s tax ID and they will write me a check once I get my own foundation set up.
See! This is exactly the reason why I never wanted to start my own publication. For years ppl have been telling me, “You should have your own magazine.” But I knew I didn’t want to deal with the business side, I am a creative.
THIS is the reason why I wanted to marry someone who was already a successful business person- so I could handle the creative side and they could handle the business. A team!
I guess I have to figure it out by myself.
Oh yeah. I’ve started blogging about my experiences with organizing this project on my website so I won’t be posting here about the process anymore. If you want to keep up with what I’m doing, you’ll need to visit the site.
Hope you’ll still join me.
