A New Chapter in our Lives

We're going full bore trying to get ready to open up Vital Solutions MD, our new wellness clinic business. So far things are going quite well, but it just seems that everything takes a couple of days longer than we planned for. We had planned to be in the office this month to get things really moving for January, but it looks like we'll be starting up in January. We're getting our office furniture made right now and hopefully it will be in by the end of this week. Our iDXA machine will be here on December 22 and we'll do a training on the 23rd. Then Christmas and New Year's comes and we're opening up. We're finishing up our Website (you can check out what's done so far at http://www.vitalsolutionsmd.com/ ). I'm excited about that and really grateful to my brother-in-law Paul for helping out - okay he's really doing almost all of it - we just fill in the text. I'm going to be asking all of you to put a link to this site on your blogs. It seems that you get higher ratings with Google the more places you're linked, and then you don't have to pay as much for the advertising through them. I'll wait until we've got it all together though. That will help us out. My sister-in-law is doing our marketing and she's going to help set up a big hoopla Grand Opening - she's even looking to book some local celebrities. We'll see what we can come up with.

We've got our Doctor hired and we've interviewed a couple of people for our Physiologist/nutritionist position. I think we'll do another couple of interviews tomorrow and then hire someone. Luckliy we've already got a great prospect. She really knows her stuff and I think she'll fit really well. I just feel like we've got to at least check out a few of the other applicants - we'll probably pass on the body builder that told us he'd send his resume upon request, but he made sure to include his muscle - bound picture in his e-mail. I'd post it, but I think I could get in trouble for that one.

I guess I'll tell you what we'll be doing at our clinic. We're going to be doing the weight loss plan that has helped our family lose over 140 lbs (Jeff's down 80, Celeste 30 and Shelby 30). We'll also be doing a program of Bio-identical hormone replacement, and then we'll be doing body composition scans on our iDXA machine. This is a scary time to be starting a new business, but we're very excited about what we are going to be providing for people.

We would appreciate those links when I let you know we're ready and prayers on our behalf are always welcome :)
