I am not setting up this web site for my self, I make my living off driving semi I make 80,000 per year. So I don't think I will be making that much, selling flies on the net. Thats why I started driving in the 1st place. I also had shops that I suppiled, but was not making the money I wanted to. So that's why I am driving now. I am setting this up for Chase, he's at school right now. He gets off at 3:pm, Chase don't live with me he livies with his mother. Well gotta go now see ya later Kevin L Estep

Kevin, I honestly think you need to read the email I just sent you first before reading this one.
You are needing flys in the next few days? Do you realize that most tyers
only tie what needs to be tied and that takes a lot of time. Pros (I am an
amateur as the only flys I've ever sold were to friends) might have some
inventory left from previous orders but the likely-hood of them having the size,
quantity and pattern style is probably slim.
Your statement about being house-poor indicates you would be better off
taking on a second job for now instead of risking what you have in a new
business. As a business consultant, I point to statistics. Roughly 75-80% of new
businesses fail while 95% of franchises are around in 10 years. Why?
Franchisors already have a proven (not always) business plan and support network.
As for making a profit, expect to be in the red for the first year if not
longer. Not trying to burst your bubble but you have a lot of work to do
before charging ahead and getting into debt that may endanger that new house you
and your wife just bought.
