Thank you for the encouragement. What you wrote out here, is what I've been doing for the last year or so. I had some good friends tell me to just man up and figure out how to make what I thought would help sell my stuff. So I did. Were it not for this grant money, I'd keep on trucking along making incremental improvements to my business. Maybe in a year I'd get up to 9-10k/month. I suspect it's quite do-able.
But with this funding, there's an opportunity to do something grander while still running my little business on the side. That's new territory for me.
If you don't follow the GPs advise then contract out little pieces and do the integration yourself. No point in setting yourself up to be ripped off, you have a winning formula, be careful.
