Finally started a business. Do you have a new destination in life too?

I've been busy preparing for a new business this year. My first goal was to have a website up and running before the first of the year. Although it's still under construction it is there! Next up is more product. Fun stuff to me! To top it off it's a creative craft that boarders art! I am VERY nervous! Maybe I shouldn't be but I'm hoping for enough income to make $1500 a months gross and employ a webmaster well enough to keep him around! So for now I'm using "nice" to offset the lack of pay. I told him to ignore my website until after the holidays. My gift to him was knowledge, knowledge about how to handle a "slum lord" landlord and how to get free legal advice about his rights in several areas. I found out he found it very helpful to both him and his family. I reminded him he is never a victim and that most of the time people try to intimidate you into thinking you are helpless and depend on making you feel like a victim. I told him "you are never a victim!" This Christmas he feels in charge of his life and that of 3 young children! While he feels I gave him the best present he receives this year I feel, that knowledge alone is my present! Is this an omen for my future? What has your experience been when starting a new company?
