I've recently sold a small (tiny!) food manufacturing business and spent a decade selling at the local farmers market, wholesale to stores, and even to distributors. I'll give you my opinion on growing a small business. Take what you like and leave the rest.
As you're building up your own business, I suggest focusing on developing outlets that minimize the time you spend doing sales. If you like doing sales, then a local market can be good advertising and provide customer feedback. But, mostly those kinds of things eat up time that you could use to be producing. Price your stuff so that you can do wholesale and focus on that. It's really more profitable for the time spent. Also, look at online sites like etsy if you aren't already set up for online sales.
Back to the topic at hand. I've been following along on your bootcamp thread, too. Someone else may have already said this by the time I finish typing, but just in case... You mentioned waiting to see where H is at before setting your current goals about the R. That leaves you staring at him and waiting on him. Close your eyes and get the focus back to you.
Thanks for posting all that you do. I'm learning and being inspired as I follow along.
