  10. I'm so happy for you! To sustain this even further, make sure you get the right and proper business advice. Your friends may have your interests at heart; but unless they're experts in the field of marketing, you're not sure if they're all sound. Weighing all of the options as this point will greatly help in expanding your cute little shop into something bigger.
