@RacquelE712599 all good questions.  While Cannabis may be a lucrative business it really requires you to do your homework on cost and licenses.  Sounds like you have a treasure trove of skills that could be monetized once you decide and formalize it all.  Let's see what our business leader @KeithH119895 has to say about you finding "your happy place".

Knowing your business value proposition is so critical, particularly now!!!  As AARP Brand Ambassador Daymond John always emphasizes, knowing the value of your business is very important.  What do you offer that differs from other businesses?  That's the question investors will want to know as well as your customers.  

We want to hear - please share!  How are you different from your competitors NOW amid the pandemic?

[RacquelE712599]

Great questions @FeeBrown. One day I will have the answer for now I would appreciate your help.
