No way, Don. You get to grow (en mass) every plant that stikes your
fancy, and then sell most of them. Or, as you fall out of love with
it, you can recoup your expenses.
You can travel to wholesalers and pick the Creme de la creme, and write
it off. You can go to Trade Shows and drool all over the latest hi tech
innovations that will surely increase your bottom line if you only had
4.3 million bucks to finance the initial outlay....the benefits of this
business are thousandfold and I have NO regrets. However, I also have
a self-employed husband that supports the family whilst I funnel
profits back into my business. If I had to support a family on it
myself, the doors would have been closed for lack of operating capital.
And that's the case from someone who has the magic key to a successful
business....Location, location, location. Give me one more season, and
I could probably support a family.
