8.5- Today was an amazing day for my business. A large bird company in Canada (they have a place in Washington state {where I live} that we send the order to and they send it to Canada so no worries about international sales) wants my stuff and placed the biggest single order in our business's history. I am talking about a $500 + order. We never had that before, but I am a little down because my dad wants to retire and forget about his high paying job at Intel and focus on the business. This means moving to a dinky house or apartment or worse, not having anything we want, not being able to eat good food, not being able to go on vacation EVER again, there would be nothing good that comes out of it. If he does this before the business can support our current lifestyle, I will kill myself. I WILL NOT LIVE IN POVERTY!! !! ! My dad doesn't seem to care about my feelings toward this. I know being in Dog Fancy and other magazines will help but would it make it where he can retire and we make the same kind of money if not more? I know a lot of people said that my business has so much potential that it is unbelievable. I probably mentioned that a million times. One person said we will make maybe in the next 5 years, over a million dollars a year and within 2 years maybe around $100,000 a year. My business has the world's largest selection of animal images on items. I am talking about 300 designs. That number grows by the week. By the end of the year I hope to get that number to 400. Zoos would want my stuff, pet stores, vets, and any animal related place around the country and when we do international sales, around the world. We are truly a unique business and with my disability, it makes it even better. So if dad retires say in a year and we are not making the type of money everyone is expecting I WILL DIE!! !
