Indeed, this is why I so eagerly encourage4 everyone to get going while in
class, it is just a matter of proceeding thru the steps... and anyone
estab;lished you wish to compete with is right now saddled with having paid
too much for anything and everything they acquired in the last few years...
employees, computers, interest rates, you name it. You can keep your prices
high and enjoy far better margins than the "competition." And what profits
you get go farther now...I just spent ten days on Kauai and the 3 bedroom
condo on the poipu beach was $159 a night and the minivan for the whole time
was $51...yes, fifty one dollars! Better than mexico right now! So get
going before the economy recovers and you have to work for a living!

I
have to use UPS for shipping, and UPS rate is the going
rate for the general public. I am sure my customer don't
like the rate that they will have to pay.

***how do you know, who said so?***

I am smaller than

Is there someway for

Hello

Hi John,

I am an avid birder, and find through much research that good quality
clothing is hard to find in stores, mostly through catalogues. My idea would
be to have a small line of quality shirts, embroidered with small bird
caricatures that consumers would find amusing, of good quality, and fun to
wear. Believe it or not, birding is the fastest growing sport, and they do
have a sense of humor.

I have a graphic artist who can take a picture of say, a robin, and create
the cutest robin, appealing to peoples fun and need for good quality wear.
What do you think?

regards,
linda mc
