Smooth sailing so far
We spent the first half of last year wrestling with the decision whether to close down the preschool. We decided in June and it was folded up officially in August.
The big boy has delayed his plan to return here for the umpteen times, we decided that it’s better for me to move to IL to be reunited with him. That decision was made before or around Thanksgiving. The disposing of “stuffs” started then.
Everything has gone on rather smoothly after we made the big decision. Sold the first floor of the tutoring business in November 2007. Moved out of the first floor and sold some of the furniture, one thousand over children story books and the Montessori materials in December 2007. Sold more books and furniture in January 2008.
Was caught up with all the CNY activities during the first half of February. Last week of February, got an unexpected offer from a prospective buyer who had made an inquiry and had seen the place many months ago but didn’t get back to us!
By the rate it goes, our ties with the business will come to an end before April. Once we are done with the transfer of name and licensing, we will hand over of our present students to the teacher whom we are training to take over the SWR classes.
Things seem to sail smoothly, sometime I can’t believe it myself, that we are able to dispose everything (ok, almost everything) in such a short time frame. Considering the struggles we went through in the last few years, it feels very much like the light at the end of the tunnel !!
Good luck to you and what an unbelievable adventure you had all these years with your business. did you make a good profit out of it? ;)
