Also: real work is hard. A free market brings competition, and not everyone is up to snuff OR willing to improve, bit by bit, in the spirit of kaizen. Easier for them to try to kneecap competitors or cause headaches. At least in the short term. Typically, these kind of people have never run up against ANY resistance or suffered ANY consequences from similar behavior in the past. First time for everything;)

It's such an alien frame of mind, I don't even know how to begin to comprehend it. But, as they say, karma is a bitch...and so am I.

What the hell is wrong with people?!? Use that energy for good, not evil. I’m sorry this happened to you, Rachel. You are one of my favorite small business owners.

Thank you Michelle- right back at you! The key to surviving as a small business? Just keep it going. Don't stop. Maintain momentum. And all of you lovely people are helping me to do so! Literally just printed UPS labels for thank you gifts for folks that re-posted their very thoughtful reviews of TOTEM-- a great way to turn the energy around;)
