Indie Business Today was a fantastic day! The weather was beautiful! My husband fixed brunch and ran me a hot bath and let me have the whole afternoon to myself. Then he went out and got dinner for me. I love days like this! I hope you had a good day too!

I take each and everyone one of you with me. And with you come not only your own aspirations, but those of generations to come! If we don't stand up, it will be impossible for future generations to start small businesses, especially in the consumer products and manufacturing arenas. It will all go overseas and to very large corporations who can afford to cut through all of the red tape.
