    Interesting counter reasons amp. I guess what the product or services is makes a big difference. I like what Drucker taught which is entrepreneurs don't take risks (at least they mitigate and reduce them) . With selling to retail you can get the orders in hand before you even make the items...

    EXECUTION 
    Have you considered trying to license the idea vs manufacturing? I have no direct experience yet in licensing but am looking into that route. What I learned from Stephen Key is you should consider licensing if the product is an improvement on an existing concept/design.
