    That's an interesting video. One thing I've noticed, is that when you pitch your idea to people, a LOT of people will tell you why it's a terrible idea and why it won't work, and why they wouldn't do it. It can be healthy to talk to those people just to get an idea of either a worse case scenario, or get a feel for the people who might not utilize your business and why. However, it's very important to realize that those same people often don't start businesses of their own. There are always detractors from a ideas, even good ones.

    At some point you just have to say, WTF. I'm doing it.

    Congrats, and I know how hard it is. Doing sales taxes on the 15th of the month, payroll taxes every quarter, estimated taxes on income, etc. The government sure doesn't make it easy.

    Never mind making a profit...

    Whenever your wife asks why you are on this forum instead of working on the business, just tell her you're procrastinating towards success!
