Sharing my lifetime experience in export/import. Product sourcing specialist.
GOLD! SOURCINGThanks for the reply Walter. I know the bottom line is margin. But along w/ the other factors you mentioned, haven't you found it easier to have a personal relationship (professional) w/ a supplier in the U.S.? It's intangible but could be worth a lot, especially if you have to resolve a...- Wolfman

Does It Hurt Bad Enough?
GOLD! MINDSETHello, I've been assiduously googling every abbreviation I don't understand and writing them down. B & P has google stumped. Is it a sexual practice (it's there, I kid you not)? Does anyone know? Thanks in advance, Greg- Wolfman

Does It Hurt Bad Enough?
GOLD! MINDSETHi MJ, I like the way you put that about his eyes having a glow and yearning to them. I'm not sure if mine do physically, but I am feeling a kind of smoldering glow that may catch fire. For now I'm really keeping in mind what you called "processes" or positive habits. One of the processes...- Wolfman

Does It Hurt Bad Enough?
GOLD! MINDSETHi Allen, Your revelation hit me pretty darn close to the bone. I've been having that same epiphany this last week. I'm having to take responsibility for plenty of lousy decisions.

Sharing my lifetime experience in export/import. Product sourcing specialist.
GOLD! SOURCINGHi Walter, How are you? I'm plodding away in what MJ calls the "desert of desertion." I can tell you about my invention/product off of the forum but I'll ask a couple of general questions first (if that's ok w/ you). 1.

Scaling a handmade item business
Hi Walter, How've you been? I went to Home Depot and just wandered around for an hour trying to figure out how to do my physical branding/labeling.

Scaling a handmade item business
Hi Lex, Thanks for your words. I have the New World's Greatest Killer Mousetrap invention. (Not really) My invention is close enough to use that hypo. It's physical, low-tech, easy to enter the market but I don't know what the market is. So do I take my KillerMT to HomeDepot or to the local...- Wolfman
