Defining a BigGirl

I've been working on the business plan for Big Girl Cocktails for a while now... or I should say re-working.. for the nth time. It's the official, professional narrative of Big Girl Cocktails, the product and what I think I can create with it – also a lot of financial requirements, projections, strategic plans and other fabulous storytelling I learned in business school.

I read somewhere that the beauty of having your own business is you can re-work and re-invent it as much as you want... this I now appreciate.

I may not have mentioned before, but I'm also writing a book – Artist in B-School.. a bit of a memoir of my experience getting an MBA. It's funny that working on this plan is a lot like editing my book. The more I read and edit, the more the story evolves... the more I want to do with it. The same opportunity is occurring with Big Girl Cocktails. The more I work on the story/business plan of Big Girl, the more intricate it becomes, the more ideas I get of where it could go.

Defining Big Girl Cocktails has definitely become so much more than coming up with a couple drink recipes and some cook packaging design... It's become my next great story.. a tale of celebrating womanhood I'm really enjoying crafting – one page of my business plan at a time.

- Cheers to all those creating their next tale to tell.
