When I grow up....

You, sir or madam, are a complete star. Thanks for sharing this. It's an itch I just have to scratch, or I'll never know how it might have turned out.

Good stuff. I have a similar dream myself. Making your business "global" means you are competing with everybody in the world. One alternative is to be more local, or maybe UK wide. You can then meet your customers face to face, thus adding more value and perhaps greater profits.

I agree, especially at start up.

My online store opens in Jan/Feb & will be aimed at the UK market only to begin with. However, I also know there is a market for my inventory in parts of Europe as well as the US but I need to learn to walk first (or even find out if I can walk).

Bit by bit is the way to approach a new online business in my opinion - especially if you are a complete novice like me.

Sounds good to me. Feel free to post a link to we can share and enjoy.
