Quotes and Thoughts for the Day

Quote:

It's not too late to start a new dream.
I have pottery wheels, and a kiln!
I think we should sell specialty hibiscus in one of a kind made especially for you homemade pots!
The plant is free- the pot costs twenty bucks!

There's a thought... I don't know about by you guys, but here pots are expensive! And funny garden ornaments like frogs and snakes etc?

The problem here is that the box stores put our small independent retail nurseries out of business. We are a small wholesale nursery, not big enough to sell to the box stores. The best we can hope to do is sell to bigger nurseries that can sell large lots to the chain stores.
Unless we open a small independent retail nursery ourselves, and supply our own plants and pottery -which I have been telling him we need to do- we can't make it.
He does not want to sink anymore money into our business, and I do not want to sink the rest of my life into what we have left.

Move or die, change or perish, I read these quotes.
I am getting something out of this thread!

Sold! I'll buy one maybe two. I love hibiscus but the pot is the gem. When will you have them ready?

Oh you temptress. Don't make me get my clay out!

I have tried to get him to get a web page together, he does not want to sink the money in it.
But it is understandable, change cost money and when it is not coming in-gambles are difficult things to do.

Jim Ronan said, " It's not how much it costs, it's how much is it worth?" You can always sell on Amazon. Use them an a host Web site. Until you get a good revenue. Then you get your seed money, to invest in yourself.

Good morning everyone!

"Wave away my yesterday​

Cause I'm leaving it behind me.​

Hello sunshine, come what may.​

I feel something new inside me.​

I hear the birds singing​

Now my alarm's ringing​

Get up, get up, hey!​

It's a good morning!​

Wake up to a brand new day​

This morning,​

I'm stepping, stepping on my way​

Good morning,​

You give me strength,​

You give me just what I need​

And I can feel the hope that's rising in me.​

It's a good morning" ~Mandisa​

I'm going to PM you when I got more time. I'm just stealing a minute here quick. I've got some ideas/suggestions you can try. Just things that worked for us here, with our nursery.
