nic	Re: Why I haven't gone into the boutique business Both RG and Zach make some great points. What is really forgotten about business is the almost naive drive to succeed. I think Zach has hit that nail on the head, as have many other successful entrepreneurs in history sometimes you gotta not know the definition of "can't". Stick to your vision and run with it. On the flipside, RG I think would be more of the practical type manufacturers. Perhaps not relying so much on the "Boutique" and "Handmade" shtick. RG has for many years bucked the notion of his own pedal business with things like, "no capital for a plant in Taiwan etc." His pedals would be more inline with Boss or DOD. Actually, I would sort of expect RG's stuff to give DOD a real run for their money. The circuits would be much more cool and unusual than Boss or DOD, but I doubt they'd compete with the zvex niche. nic
