fear of success

What a strange concept…being afraid of success. I always thought it was a silly notion but I have a little bit of it right now. My PDX sales rep is at a show right now and I won’t hear back from him until later this week. I know it’s a long shot but I’m totally terrified that he’s going to sell me like hotcakes at this show. What if Whole Foods wants an order? What if Sephora is there and loves my stuff? How totally awesome and terrifying that would be. Where would I get the capital to buy supplies (obviously these are net30 companies), would I be able to fill these orders in my usual 1-3 weeks? What if I couldn’t? Soap usually takes 6 weeks for a full cure…what if my stock is depleted and I have nothing for the shows in April?

Once again, it’s a long shot and I told him that I would be happy if people just took my postcards, and that’s true. Im hoping for an easy transition into the west coast markets rather than my greatest fears. Would I be disappointed if none of this happened? Probably immediately but that would wear off and I would keep going at my usual pace.

Here’s hoping (for what Im not sure).
