We started to pour all our energy and effort into it. Lots of decisions had to be made. We founded Dream Manifesto, LLC and started to build a website. I worked
day and night and sometimes I had so many obstacles to overcome that I didn’t
know where my head was anymore.
I do have some knowledge of computers and electronics, however, I had not a clue how to begin creating what was needed for an electronic vision board. Where to
begin? I studied programming techniques for days only to get endless error
messages on my screen. Many times I was ready to call it quits. But slowly I made some small progress and things started to work out.
We moved into a small apartment complex and spent our weekends going to
garage sales to get our new home furnished. Ah, the joys of having a bed, a table to eat on and some desks to work on. At that stage we were quickly running out of
funds so we started to make calls to friends and relatives to borrow money.
Every month we did not have one penny in income but we did have about $3,000
in expenses. It was very challenging to come up with the money each time.
However, we were excited about our vision and what we were creating. We knew
that things would work out eventually.
After only five months we were able to break even and did not need to borrow any more money. I remember the day we finished including the online payment option
on the website. We waited in anticipation for the first order to come in. It did soon enough, and by the end of the day, we had a total of five. We were so happy – it was a huge success for us.

specific sound when an order came in. I decided to go for an applause. From then on every time we got an order we got a huge round of applause to cheer us up. It was like getting a shot of adrenaline where we needed it most.
