Well it’s over. This was definitely one of the more exciting and fun weeks I can remember. We had a wonderful dinner tonight and received our certificates. Everyone is now packing and preparing to return home.
After going at this for eight years with no guidance, direction or companionship I feel like I have finally found my people. I also now have the knowledge, tools and connections to make this thing work. I will always remember my fellow seminarians and this time we spent together and I hope to be seeing and doing business with some of you down the road.
I would like to say to all of the faculty and staff how much I appreciate what you did for us this week. Your passion for this business just poured out of you and I and I’m sure many of the others soaked it up. I hope that I am able to someday make you proud.
Now I will return home, review all of this material and come up with a concrete gameplan. Keep your eyes open because the new and improved Back in the Day Books is coming. There will most likely be an open shop, a website and one or two other ideas I have up my sleeve. I’m sad to see this week end but very excited about what lies ahead.
One more thing - Hi Holly, Daddy’s coming home.
