NAICS: 445 Food and Beverage Stores Description: Smoothie refreshment |
| I first decided to get into this business because I successfully managed and ran Robeks, and during the time I was employed in Robeks, I saw future potential for the refreshment store so I then decided to buyout Robeks. I decided to buyout Robeks because, for one, it was in a spectacular location, previous customer relation with the town, and the simplicity of running the store, and not to mention I don't have to pay 6% royalty fee anymore. |

| 3. To create the initial goal for my business requires common sense, but the goals I have established are to help the people and promoting health benefits. To help the people means to provide the consumer with the product, and doing so benefits me as a business. Creating a win to win situation with me and the consumer. Through the promotion of health benefits the consumer can feel more comfortable, and the product will reach to the health savvy. |

NAICS: 453 Miscellaneous Store Retailers Description: wholesale mexican folk art |
| How we got into it this business was the loss of our son and that’s all. Our initial goal was to make a living and enjoy it. We enjoy art and we have had it as an active part of our lives. And we enjoy what we do now with it. We also had in mind that we don’t want to work for anyone but our selves. Something about being your own boss lets you be creative and allows you release your energy for your company. |

NAICS: 237 Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction Description: Pool construction company |
| One of the main reasons that I came to join this business is because of a friend. He worked in the same field and enjoyed the concept and the way the business was growing. This motivated me to join the industry and begin my business. My initial goal for this business is to be part of a growing industry that was replacing a weaker product. This way you can truly get a bang for your buck. To be more precise, this “weaker” product is known as gunite. Gunite has been traditionally used to fill a mold. In this case, it was used to fill a pool mold. To replace this, I use shotcrete, which has twice the strength of gunite. This product has been shown to be better because it minimizes waste and is easier to make designs with. |

NAICS: 722 Food Services and Drinking Places Description: Cafe and Bakery |
| I used to be in real estate and property management, but I had friends who were chefs and we would go out to eat lunch all the time. After our lunch, I would have to go back to my office while my chef friends would go to the Farmers’ Market to buy things for the restaurant—how romantic. I thought to myself, “How good of a life would that be?” I didn’t realize they were able to do that because they were already executive chefs, and of course starting out on the bottom in the culinary industry is not glamorous at all, and it’s different when you start your own business. So once you start this business, you get sucked into it, and after so many years, it’s basically what you know. After closing down my first restaurant, I took a trip to Europe and half of my camera shots were of food and cafes. In France, there were restaurants that brought the community together. So I thought if it works there perfectly fine, why wouldn’t it work here? My goal was to have a restaurant in which the community can come together and enjoy a spot where they can hang out. |

NAICS: 446 Health and Personal Care Stores Description: on call makeup artistry |
| I decided to create my own position in this industry being as that I didn’t want to work for no one else. I didn’t want to cooped up in a place all day in a place that did not belong to me. So I decided to be freelance and it was the best thing for me to do especially with this industry being so cut throat. My initial goal was to create a high-end clientele profile. Also to provide all my clients with a more comfortable and convenient service. |
