I've made a big decision: now that Teddy
and Rachel are both in university, I want to start my own business. I've
already been testing the waters and
know what I’m going to do.
* test
the waters: to try something, but not in a fully committed way
ex> The car company released a small
number of its electric cars just to test the waters.
That’s great. I hate seeing you moping around the house. What kind of business do you want
to start?
* mope
around: to act depressed and glum around other people
ex> Stop moping around and get
out and do something!
I’m going to blog about my experiences
and share tips and information I find online. After I've built up an audience,
I’ll hang out my shingle and start
offering my consulting services.
* hang
out one’s shingle: to launch a business
ex> After law school, Zach hung
out his shingle as a tax attorney.
That’s a great way to reap the harvest of your years of
experience running a household and raising two great kids. So, what are you
going to call it?
* reap
the harvest: to be rewarded for one’s past efforts
ex> If you want to reap the harvest,
you must first work the soil.
I’ll just have to tweak my marketing a little bit, but I don’t want to leave anyone
out.
* tweak:
to make a minor adjustment to something
ex> We tweaked the payment
plan so everyone would get paid sooner.
