Get rid of debt if you can. Cash is king! Get rid of the unnecessary expenses and watch your inventory levels like a hawk. Don't run out of inventory, but don't have too much either." -Charlene Anderson

A dollar you spend on your product that does $100 a month in profit is a dollar you didn't spend on a product that's doing $10,000. And no matter how much you want it to not be true, it's true, so amputate." -Mina Elias

In addition to thinking about profitability, think about the impact to your cash. How much cash is it going to take? How quickly will it turn? You don't want to put a bunch of cash into something that's going to sit on the shelves for a long time. -Cyndi Thomason
