Countdown and long working hours

We woke up still not believing that we found the perfect place to open our business. Still it feels unreal, probably till we are actually in the bar, which is already next week. Things are moving so quick, not only in Hungary, but in general, since we came up with the idea, that we should do something, it is crazy, when we realise it was only in about December, and we came such a long way ever since. We started saving money, everything we could, we had to put up with the hard times in Vienna, when we couldnt work together and barely saw each other, and every time we had to keep our hopes up, and focus on what our goal was. 

So, we decided today, that the most important thing is to organise ourselves before we sign the contract.  

We had to sort all our paperwork out, and be professionals, because this is where it can go wrong, so the major goal for today was to finish off our office with our financial plan, broken down to every expense in the next 3 months to know where we are, what we can afford, and try to meet all this with what we want to create in the bar. We set ourselves for a budget for the bar but luckily we thought ahead before, and we have most of the important equipment already. This way, it is easier and more organised for us to have a budget for every single item we have to spend on. Of course this is only an estimate, but this way we know, that we are not going above it, but we have no arguments over it either. The finances are probably the most sensitive part of our business and our relationship as well:). We have different ideas of what is worth spending on and what is not, and this way, we made it clear, what are the priorities, and anything that we are going to save at the end of the month, we are just going to spend on something really cool for the Grand Opening night.

another paper work over load day!!

Scott really wanted to go to the Zaj dj shop, to check out what they can offer, and we passed by the bar on the way, since it is just next to it, and we were once again amazed by how perfect the location of our bar is. Everything is on our doorstep. While we where looking for the shop, we started talking to a guy, who owns a bar on the corner in the Jokai street, he was very helpful and we asked him about a lot of stuff of the beer suppliers, how he opened, what was hard, how long he has been there, and it helped us so much. Sometimes, even though Scott is the best in organising things, I still feel like we are not prepared for so many things. After talking to him, I felt like, that we are okay, and everything we dont know yet, we will find out together on the way. This is still all new to us, but also this is our only chance and we know, that we have the best concept we could come up with and it is something that we are both more than happy to give our names to. We just realised this is our life now, once we get the keys to the bar, we are going to be there all the time, till it is perfect and ready for opening up for the public.

So, the guy in the dj shop was really nice, and after Scott explained him what we are doing, he said he can come back on Tuesday and they can give a price offer and also they can check the bar out. So everything is going according to plan and even better! We bought the rest of the folders and came home, and sorted all our finances out. It was quite a long process but it feels so good that we are finally done with it! In the meantime, my mom was so nice that she brought all our clothes and remaining stuff from the lake house.

I can already feel what is the difference between working for yourself or be an employee. Now we have no one to tell us what to do, which is sometimes hard, because you have to figure our for yourself, but on the other hand: no one is telling you what to do:))!! The other thing is, that before, we did some usual things during the day before work in Vienna, and had to go and start the shift, which sometimes was painful, because you just want to enjoy the weather and stay home, relax. But now, since we left and started on working on Lost, we are non stop. And yes, we are tired, but this is what you do, this is what we talk, think and even dream about...There are no more days off for a long time, but every day is a unique adventure and we have to appreciate what we have and what we achieved.
