Regret/Desire
Mar. 27th, 2009 04:13 pmEvery since I dissolved LARP USA, I've both regretted it and been relieved.
Relieved because I don't have to worry about taxes, or about whether or not I have the money to fulfill the orders that are coming in while still being able to pay myself and the credit card company.
Regret? Well. There's lots of that.
For example, if LARP USA were still alive I would JUMP at the chance to buy this. It's an item that I was always looking to purchase while running the business, a tool that helps make making chain mail rings super easy. I still want it, but have no use for it. In my "warehouse" now there is probably one hundred pounds of wire and rings, never sold, never used. Yet a part of me says "If you make them, they'll be purchased."
Horse-crap. They were the worst-selling items on my site. Why do I keep wanting to make more? I have no idea.
But really, I miss having my own business. I'm going to be looking into reopening it eventually, but not for a long while, once my financial situation is stable. Once I figure out how to work everything together so that I can work, go to school, and run a business while at the same time not having to worry about where the cash for the business is coming from, that's when I'll start it up again.
In the mean time, I still wish I had the Jump Ring Maker, just because.
