Making it a Reality
I know it’s been a while since I’ve written about the development of Ciabranel D.A.T.A., but believe me there has been a LOT going on. I don’t even know where to start. I’ve been working like crazy trying to bring everything together. A few days ago, I registered the new business with the State of Florida and I also applied for and received a Federal Tax ID #. Those steps were simple to complete, especially since there was no paperwork involved. But now I’m at the point of developing the company’s website and it has been a pain, especially since my computer is worthless. So far I made a banner (below). It takes me 5x the normal time to do something because my computer is so slow. I go to the library when I can to use a computer, but it’s not always opportune to do so because of scheduling between my job and caring for my puppy Chino. Purchasing a new computer is definitely on my task list, but it’s something that I will not be able to afford for a few months 
.
Last week I confirmed with my supervisor and other management at my job that Ciabranel D.A.T.A. will surely be added as a vendor for the company once my employment ceases. I was so overjoyed with the news that I was hyperventilating; it was almost unbelievable. I guess I thought I would’ve been harder to sell my services, but they were all very eager. In fact, they were trying to figure out a way to hire my company sooner. I was assured that there were plenty of researchers who could use the services that my company will offer: custom software development & infrastructure for data management, custom reports, technical support, and possibly website design (still need to finalize this list). I am ecstatic!
Lesson Learned: Don’t ever for one second doubt yourself, your abilities, and your worth.
