Signs, Signs, everywhere Signs

Yes, I do believe in signs. Get over it.
Internally a battle was raging within yours truly. Start another Project? Go house shopping? Maybe hold off?
Every friend, every family member, every commenter said the same thing: "Wait!".
OK Fate, I can take a hint.
Instead another path will require my full, undivided attention.
A new idea for a business has been occupying my time. Thanks to some inspiration from Tim 4HWW, an idea for something revealed itself to me nearly two months ago. Two weeks ago, the project grew some teeth. Now the beast is in motion.
For this venture, I have a Partner. The Partner will be directly in charge of product development. First time I have been in a venture and not been directly in charge of this aspect of the business. My personal belief has always been "The most qualified person should do the job". The Partner is infinitely more qualified than I.
My involvement: (1) software support (2) marketing/advertising. The concepts of marketing/advertising evade me but I am learning. Progress is being made.
Disclosure of the product won’t happen today. In the future.
What I will divulge:
- This business is entirely online
- It is something I love to do
From time to time, some posts will appear discussing aspects of this development.
If you liked that post, then try these...

That useless software from Benjamin Moore didn't help me out at all! They should have said on the software label "User needs to be Graphic Artist with Masters Degree in Adobe Photoshop".

I love suspense…
I’m looking forward to hearing more. (And I love that book.)
That sounds perfect! This business is something you love to do–what could be better? Best of luck! I have a similar notion myself. I figured I’d better get prototypes made soon, or someone else will discover this idea and run with it.
Yeah, I’m fairly excited about the idea. And now is the time to go after it.
Trisha, if you got an idea then consider at least getting the patent down. Like Tim talks about “licensing products”. Let someone else do all the development, manufacturing, and customer headaches.
