Recording notes from 3/21/25 to 3/24/25.

Meeting with Andrew from HostHuski in Logan. We went over a bunch of different things. He is looking for a super simple ecommerce type solution that he could offer to his clients. Andrew and I were going over ideas, possibilities, and making some simple plans. We would like to take the adilas system (POS, inventory tracking, ecommerce, CRM, and scheduling) and make a small little mini package or bundle. That may take some time and some work, but it would be super cool. Lots of options and possibilities. He is really good at creating feature rich packages and marketing them. We are really good at doing the tooling and custom code to make it work.

Recording notes from 3/19/25 to 3/20/25.

Pushing up some financials, tax returns, bank statements, and other PDF docs for Chris, the business consultant and business broker to look at.

A little bit of meeting prep. Meeting with Chris and Steve. Light intros and such. Talking about our history and how the Morning Star Dealership got into debt and dealing with banks and floorplan stuff (old automotive business stuff - history). That big debt made it really tough. Going over lessons learned from being in business over time.

VC (venture capital) seems to be too risky for what we are doing. Looking more for the angle investor or something along those lines. We would love someone to buy in (own equity or be an equity partner) and then put in x and then we structure a pay back and how that works. That would be really cool.

Talking about sales and deployment and having to switch hats. Talking about how much money we can responsibly use and activate (manage). Lots of times, customers make assumptions based on look and feel. We'd like to make some changes and updates there. If we got some monies, we would need to show how the spend would return on that investment. Going over some financials and such.

Chris was saying, put yourself in the investor's shoes and what does that look like. That helps you know what they are wanting and expecting.

Chris left and Steve and I were talking about other options, plans, and where we are going. Lots of talk about some changes to ecommerce that would help.

Going through emails.

Emails and checking on payroll updates that were pushed live.
