    Very interesting. Can you expand on this, open up to other groups? Somewhat related - a local brewery has a large back room. I know at least one night of the week the room is filled with people playing board games.

    Maintaining Momentum

    Your post read as if a product launches and all the sudden there are lots of sales and money is rolling in. That is rare but assuming there are sales, most people (including me) roll that money back in the business to help it grow.

    How to withdraw from Paypal without using Paypal?

    There many online traders that exchange currencies. Your problem is that you have PayPal. PayPal allows complaints/chargebacks for up to 180 days and their policies favor the sender. Due to this risk, you will pay a high fee to exchange your PayPal funds. Why do you need USD?
