Road Trip To DIscover America's Small Businesses
My Travel Story
So we planned the small business roadtrip.
Our Goal:
To Travel To All 50 US States
To Meet With At Least 1 Small Business Owner In Each State
Make A Video Documentary Of Each Business
Doument Our Trip On Our Blog & Youtube
Help Boost The Small Business Movement
Our Plan:
We Plan To Start In Our Homestate Of South Carolina
We Will Follow (Loosely) Randy Olsons Road Trip Map
We Will Fly To The Big Island of Hawaii & Alaska
We Plan To Release A New Video At Least Once A Week, Sometimes 2 A Week
Our Expenses:
Fuel (Biggest Expense)
Lodging (Looking Into Camper/RV)
Estimated Around $3,500
Camera (High Quality To Provide Best Video)
Canon Rebel T6 Costs Around $500
Drone (Optional But Would Provide Excellent Shots)
DJI Mavic Drone Costs About $1,000
We Would Also Like To Purchase A Video Editing Laptop. This Is Not A Big Issue As My Desktop Can Handle It But A Laptop Would Be More Convient.
Total Expenes(Not Including Food & Fees/Tolls):
$9,000 - $14,000
We Will Be Looking To Get Corporate Sponsors To Hopefully Help Fund This Project. If We Can Raise At Least Half Of This In 2 Months (Aug 2017), We can get started this summer.
