I have sold in a few stores, but I really want to get a manufacturer so I can grow. I was hoping to get your feedback on a few things...At what point did you know you needed a manufacturer? How do I find a manufacturer, are there any in the US, and would you ever share who manufactures Ruffle Butts? I figure going to a referred company is always better than going in blind sided. And Lastly, Do you design everything yourself, or do you have a team for that? I am completely inspired by your story, and I can only hope that one day I will be half as successful!

I just wanted to update you on my venture since I last wrote you. I have been reading Mommy Millionaire and following alot of her steps and I have been getting very positive feedback. I recently made an appt with my local SCORE/SBA and we I spoke with them about my product I received extremely positive feedback and was told to seek a patent attorney right away. I felt good about this because they see alot of new business owners/inventors daily so this meant alot. Well, I have an appt with a business/patent attorney on Monday. Things are moving along. It is very scary however.....there's so much to do. I will meet with the SCORE rep again on Tues to start putting my business plan together, because at this point I have tons of notes and am overwhelmed at how to put it all together. I have also been working on sourcing fabric and packagers in addition to insurance agents, accountants, bankers, etc... Wow, tired just thinking about it all! You are awesome for following through and deserve all the success in the world!~ Kimberlee B ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15603699790716474756noreply@blogger.com
