Fighting Discouragement and being Overwhelmed

I'm fighting discouragement and being overwhelmed.
I’ve need to get the cookies approved by the USDA I think, but can’t find info on where the application is, or if in fact that is the place I need to go. Then I need money for all this stuff and today we have not a cent to our names. UGH.
Then after getting all of the permits and ok’s I have to go to stores and get them to carry and then sell these cookies. And while the cookies sell at the farmer’s markets, that doesn’t mean that they will sell in stores.
I also write this blog as I can but no one reads it. I know that I write for myself but it was just discouraging.
Now kicking myself in the butt: Dale and I will go to a food expo in San Diego Sunday and Monday. We have 3 workshops scheduled, two of which are about setting up and running an e-mail business. I’m anxious to learn about packaging for the cookies, the icing and the petits fours cutter that I’m taking out of mothballs next week. Also we will look at marketing possibilities. I’ll write about our adventures.
