So, purchased my first used machine, promptly dropped it and thought I could catch it for some dumb reason.
Huge bruises on my biceps, forearms, thighs and shin. Genius level move there.

Contract accepted. Now all I need to do is convince some financial source to actually fund my ability to buy a couple of vending machines. Is the cart before the horse? Absolutely!
Anxiety factor is about a 9 right now.

So, s*** just got real. Website has been essentially finished for less than a week and I got my first request for information about placing a machine.
Now I have to figure out where to finance this and how fast I can get it here.

I now have a business checking and savings with Navy Federal. Feels fancy, even though it’s currently just a parking spot for dreams and snack money. #Vending

Big moves tomorrow: morning call with a Vending365 rep and a MicroMart demo before lunch. Feeling like a snack CEO-in-training. Let’s see where these conversations take me! #VendingStartup #SmallBusiness #EntrepreneurLife #Vending

Flirting with the idea of starting a YouTube channel about getting this vending business off the ground. The real question: do I actually have time to film and edit after my 9-to-5, or will this be a highlight reel of me looking tired? 🤔 #VendingStartup #SmallBusiness #YouTubeDreams #vending

Applied for a business account with Navy Federal today. Now I’m just sitting here like, ‘Please approve me, I promise I’ll treat my snacks responsibly.’ #VendingStartup #SmallBusiness #EntrepreneurLife #Vending

Just created my Google Business listing. Now when people search for snacks, they’ll find me right next to ‘DIY trail mix recipes’ and ‘how to stop eating chips at 2 a.m.’ #VendingStartup #SmallBusiness #EntrepreneurLife

Just had my first call with a vending machine distributor. I think I asked some intelligent questions, but let’s be real — they could’ve sold me a dorm fridge on wheels and I would probably say yes. Ready to go already. #vendingstartup #smallbusiness #letsgetit

Big day: got my LLC docs (yesterday), snagged my EIN, and even requested a DUNS number. Who knew vending machines required so much paperwork? Feels like I’m starting a law firm, not a snack empire. #VendingStartup #SmallBusiness #EntrepreneurLife

Curious thought: do vending machine makers or sellers ever offer sponsorships or partnerships? Like, ‘Use our machines, and we’ll help you get started.’ Feels like untapped potential. 🤔 #VendingStartup #Sponsorships #Partnerships #VendingBusiness #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusiness #StartupJourney

Spent my Sunday scouting locations for vending machines. Nothing says ‘day off’ like pacing parking lots and asking, ‘Would people buy snacks here?’ Living the dream, one soda slot at a time. #VendingStartup #NoDaysOff #EmbraceTheGrind

Tomorrow’s agenda: scouting locations for vending machines. Basically, I’ll be wandering around with snacks in my mind and a hopeful smile on my face. Wish me luck! #VendingStartup #HopeItIsn'tTooCreepy #Vending #NewBusiness

Currently in business limbo, waiting for my LLC to get approved. Until then, I’m just a person with a logo and big vending dreams. #VendingStartup #HurryUpAndWait

Today’s lesson: building business credit. Step 1: Convince the bank I’m legit. Step 2: Hope they don’t notice I’m googling ‘what is a DUNS number’ in real time. #VendingStartup

Checked another box: virtual office is live. Turns out, running a vending business starts with a lot of not-vending things. Who knew? If you want to be pen pals, hit me up.
