    what are your biggest problems about running/starting your business?

    Just keep it simple. Have a low overhead and try to think small for now. Keep the most profitable services and get 8 hours of sleep and you will be okay. sent from Yakima valley washington

    what are your biggest problems about running/starting your business?

    You should run the business out of a van. You don't have to pay all those utility bill, lease bills. Once you get a good strong clientele of like 100 people just try to work part time in your factory if you can so you can still have a cushion to fall back sent from Yakima valley washington

    Microfiber hand test??

    I also have a different technique of folding mf towel into 16ths and even splitting the 16ths in half and holding a smaller portion in my hand while I do a rinse free wash. Maybe I m a little too tedious sent from Yakima valley washington
