    Net vs profit...two different animals. When we had our photo rental studio / with staff we needed to bring in $25K just for our expenses.

    Why is she wasting $75 on "vintage" folding chairs? Imagine how uncomfortable those are

      I guess when you start a successful crafting business making $25k in revenue a month you’ll be able to make a different decision.

    How’d she get the original $50k? Did she say by accident? If so, what’s that mean? Did family help her? Or did she say she was in an accident (insurance money).
    Not hating at all but these details really help me personally when seeing these kind of stories.

    There is nothing proprietary here. The valuation is too high

    The lighting in that space is HORRIBLE. Needles by candle light? Those activities require BRIGHT light!! Wrong off the bat.
