It's Crunch Time

It's last week before meeting with Macy's buyers as well as launching my Kickstarter.com campaign and my to-do list is not short!
1. I have to get an EIN number so I can open a business bank account
2. Register on Amazon Business with this number and bank account so I can get approved by Kickstarter and launch my campaign
3. Finish filming the Kickstarter video
4. Create appealing rewards for Kickstarter so I can create a successful campaign
5. Photograph models wearing my products for the rewards
6. GET APPROVED BY KICKSTARTER (this is the biggest challenge, apparently it is very competitive to get your video and campaign approved so I am working my butt off to make it an awesome video and story). I am very stressed about this as well because it takes a few days to get approved and my goal is to launch the campaign the same day VOGUE UK comes out which is March 11th. We will see if this is possible!
12. Make a ton of samples for Macy's! AKA sew, sew, sew...
13. Wait for my leather to come in so I can make samples for Macy's using leather. This is a problem because I ordered it over a week ago and they did not process my order so there was a delay. I won't have any time over Spring break to sew because I immediately leave for the Grand Canyon with my family and we fly back the night before Macy's.
14. Create sample sheets for Macy's buyers with a list of all the products, wholesale price, and recommended retail price.
15. Place an order with my manufacturer for a sample run of 50 purses using grant money I recently received.

It's going to be a busy week!
