After letting my business go mostly dormant for the last six months, I'm finally getting my act together. For some reason, within the last week or so I've gotten four inquiries for the plane I import, which is huge, but I've been so preoccupied that I've been neglecting them.
Well, tonight I finally sat down and returned the messages. Three of them were people I've had contact with in the past so I had no choice except than to out myself to them. We'll see what kind of reaction I get. The fourth I don't think I've ever met, so unless he's seen other references, he's going to know the dealer only as Stephanie.
I've got to admit, it was pretty cool signing all those emails as Stephanie Bensinger.
Addendum: I just sent off an email to the Italian company whose planes I import, laying everything out. They are the last people that I needed to come out to, and it's been hanging heavily over my head for quite a while. It was causing a lot of anxiety and it's past time to be done with it one way or another. I have no idea how Italians take such things, but soon I'll have some resolution to it, and can move forward.
I'm nervous as I wait for a reply, but the weight of hiding it is now gone.
