Starting a business
I'm starting a house cleaning service business. Or I guess it's already started. Everything is in place except for actually getting it LLCd. I'll do that after I have some money. Site's up, google adwords and bing/yahoo ad things are running. Posted an ad for it on craigslist. And the cleaner I'm hiring is in if there's any jobs before we meet. I've launched basically. Perhaps illegally since I don't have the LLC yet. Oh well. Bigger problems!

Anyway, I'm meeting with the cleaner I'm 99% positive I'm going to hire on Tuesday. It's weird because I'm 18, and she's a mother of 3. So like, old enough to be my own mom most likely. It's not really an interview since I've asked her all I need to know through email, and told her pretty much everything about the company. It's just a formality; to not hire someone without seeing them in person first, and to not be hired by someone without seeing them in person.. But it kind of is an interview. Either way, she's going to see how young I am.


How big of a deal is it to be hired by someone young enough that you could've pushed them out of your own vagina? Should I not be caring about it? I already have mild self diagnosed social anxiety, so this is really putting me on edge thinking about how weird and awkward it could be. And what if she's like "damn son, you young. I'm out"
"you out?"
"ABCya BYE!"
and then I have to go find another cleaner and repeat this horribly awkward experience?


Also, be confident is valid advice because I can't be confident. That's something I lack. I already actually directly told her that I've never ran a business before and that I have no idea what I'm doing really. I think I do that as a cop-out. That way I have an excuse. If things don't work out, then I have an excuse and it's just "oh well. you knew what you were getting into."
