Running your own business has many benefits including a lot more flexibility in your daily schedule.  While I log a considerable amount of hours during the week, they don’t have to fit into the standard corporate hours of 8am – 6 pm or whatever the norm is.  Even with a more flexible schedule, there is something special about Friday afternoons.  The weekend horizon is that much closer and life just gets a little better.   Time for some relaxation.

Uncorked Ventures continues to grow.  More and more customers are finding their way to us as word gets out about the fantastic wines we are offering.  The feedback from our current customers has been overwhelmingly positive, with some customers increasing their wine club purchases.  Our sales to restaurants have ticked up and within the next few months we will look to take on a few more clients.  All in all we are heading in the right direction.  It will be interesting to see where we end up this year.   We have a few initiatives we are working on that should really help us grow in the coming months.  Needless to say, I am proud of Mark and I as we navigate our way through starting our business.

Take care.
