  Encouragement! I am just starting out and feeling somewhat overwhelmed. I know that there is a lot I don't know yet and while I love to learn, it's scary doing it alone.

  I also have a nearly invisable customer base at this time. If I'm going to be able to keep this thing going for any length of time, I need to learn how to find customers. I was originally hoping to find a few contracts with small coffee shops to sell my product wholesale, but I have no clue how to go about doing this.

  I also need to learn how to raise enough capital to rent a commerical space to work from. I am currently renting kitchen space by the hour when I need it and this is becoming far too costly to continue. I am the sole support of my family and there just isn't money in my personal budget to support both the family and my business. I refuse to believe this is an impossibility, however. I know there has to be a way....I just need help finding it. [less]
