Organic growth can be slow, but when you get into the cost/benefit analysis for a project like this, it becomes pretty clear, pretty fast, that it just isn't worth it. Exposure ain't all it's cracked up to be, that's for sure.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-82958032240474396332017-08-09T21:16:30.372-05:002017-08-09T21:16:30.372-05:00I did the same thing once.

I didn't think it would help my career one bit and way to much trouble. My stuff was one of a kind and couldn't be mass produced. The point where she started calling our farm a ranch and wanted to portray it that way, I said no thank you. She wanted to find another Pioneer Woman and I ain't one.

It would have taken us a month at least of dedicated work to prepare for this 5 minute segment and that doesn't count cleaning up and arranging the shop when I could be making new different stuff. just not enough bang for our buck.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-12383629032129646972017-08-09T16:50:34.897-05:002017-08-09T16:50:34.897-05:00Like Ms. Moon, I wonder if you should reconsider. ...Like Ms. Moon, I wonder if you should reconsider.
