MattG,
That WOULD show earnest intent, certainly. I agree with you 100%. After all, if the small businessperson wants to increase [her] his business, [she] he has to take a cut from [her] his own profits & reinvest it into [her] his business. Takes huevos, but usually is well-worth the risk...& is good for the soul. & builds self-esteem...even the seeded well-to-do can use an esteem builder from time to time. If they are too good to consider this, ...then how confident are they?
I don’t take my kids’ allowance money, ...to pay for dinner.
All the Best....
