Well done taking the plunge, your head must be racing, I know how I felt when I started. The best advice I can give is to focus on what you need to do, and price the way you think is right for you., never look or think of your competition, they are not paying your bills, it will prove to be distraction that your mind could do without, you will have of your owns things filling your head. When you make a mistake look on it as a learning curve, and I still have a few now. So good luck and let us know how its going when you have time Jenny

I do wish we had a like button on the forum, this post would get one from me.

I'm selling all manner of sublimation items, so here's hoping it'll work out, I've no rates or electricity to pay on the unit and the rent's not too bad so that's not a bad basis to start from, to think I nearly sold my equipment.

Good luck, you seem to have fallen on your feet with the overhead there.

Well i never knew that .................

That makes 2 of us that didnt know lol

Good luck.

There is a picture framing company near me who did exactly what you have done. He ran the business from his house and then got a retail unit.

He said he gets a lot more passing trade and enquiries from outside the town (people passing through see the shop).

Good luck.

I didn't know that either (about the star ratings!)

Thanks for all your messages

Brave man Bob... all the best mate! Dont ever look back!
