~ John Lee ~ setting my sights lower so I can set them higher

make 2008 MY year of victory ! (read all 10 entries…)
Merry Victory 20 months ago

One of my major suppliers will not be selling Christmas items anymore – yes – those cool Where The Wild Things Are, Grinch, Curious George, and Olivia The Pig Christmas Cards that a few people on 43T bought from me last year will not be available this year …

BUT ….

they just made me an offer to purchase a nice chunk of their remaining stock now as long as it ships asap. Well I did it, I looked at what I did last year, and ordered the merchandise.

So why is this a Victory since I haven’t sold any of it yet? Because the Victory lies in the confidence to dive in and commit to something that won’t pay off for quite a long time.

(( and come Christmas season, perhaps I will proclaim a victory once again! ))

it beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I never planned on it all selling at once, instead I thought that it would be a part of a continued steady sales stream, and alas that is what is happening, in bits.

It seems that each month there is a little more momentum behind the business with just a little more growth and a little more activity than the one before.
