“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
Well, girls, let me tell you what I would say to any dealer who walked into my office in Kissimmee with that exact question. First, write the wish down. Not "the idea," the thing the idea buys you: the house, the freedom, the name on the door. Now put a number on it.
How many customers, how many parties, how many weeks. A wish with a number is a plan. Second, do not sell the idea to yourself. Sell it to ten strangers in a living room and watch their hands. If they pay for it and the numbers hold, you have something to build on.
Keep the household money safe and earn the next, larger party. If they do not, you just learned it for the price of coffee and cake. The kettle is up to its neck in hot water and it still sings. So will you.
