It's very hard to juggle customer demands and creative work. Learning from someone else is essential. You may also want to limit your open hours at first so you have plenty of time when the shop is closed to handle business or creative activities you don't want to be interrupted away from. <br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />Cynthia DeisCynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07398905186830718886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-20066997766979864662011-08-11T14:26:34.611-04:002011-08-11T14:26:34.611-04:00You are enormously generous in sharing your inform...You are enormously generous in sharing your information. Many shop owners. especially in a similar business, will be protective of their information.<br />I think sharing info can help make friends, learn things from others.<br /><br />Great good luck to you.CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653106775702366387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-67557086510818115212011-08-11T13:49:08.364-04:002011-08-11T13:49:08.364-04:00WOW!
