Cover All of Your Bases

The last thing I had to do was get insurance for Mad Munch.  When I asked about it at Brian's Farmers Market Class he said, "Get coverage for up to one million dollars."

State Farm, which ironically is headquartered in central Illinois where I'm from, was the best choice for me.  I actually met an agent (Matt) at the Sundowner.  He gave me his card & when I called him the next day he set it up for me.  For only just under $50 a month, Mad Munch was insured. 

On the eve of my first farmers market at Golden Hill, I drove to CVS & bought poster board & markers to make a large menu.  I got all of my cheeses & toppings filled up in Tupperware containers that I acquired thanks to a gift card from Kate's co-worker, Tammi. 

I followed up with my friend, Kris who offered to help me on Mad Munch's debut, since Kate would still be out of town for a Bachelorette party.  He agreed & I washed my truck so that every part of my setup would shine on Day One.  

A big part of doing something bold & new is to make sure you do your homework.  Plan for as much as you can ahead of time & give yourself the best opportunity to succeed.
