Hi Daniel,

    I think that what you said,"Think big, be big. Think small...well you
    get the message here," is really interesting. I have thought this one
    over myself. You are definately right about everything you talked
    about and when I was starting my business four years ago, small is
    all I knew how to think. Truthfully, borrowing large sums of money
    scares the hell out of me. Maybe it's because I never had much. I
    think it is so important for someone to understand the risks involved
    when going into business. Especially the financial ones. I found that
    I couldn't get comfortable with the money angle of running a business,
    which is why I went back to school to get a degree for a regular job
    with a salary. I think it is great that you planned your business
    out, and I admire you for taking the risk. I don't have it in me.
    Thinking "small" seems to be my forte. This is why I wanted Annabell
    to think what she is considering over carefully. Knowing that it may
    take hundreds of thousands of dollars to compete in the field is a BIG
    part of determining whether you want to try. Thanks for the insight.
    I wish I could have talked to you years ago about this. It probably
    would have saved me time, money, and dissapointment.
