This is a great business idea that I wanted to share with all of you again.  I hope that this is the right idea for you or can inspire you towards the correct idea! If you are interested in this business you will need to start with a quality rabbit hutch! KEY IDEAS: ADVICE FROM RAMONA & CHRIS: RESEARCH: You have got to know your market, and you have to find it through research. EXPERTISE: You should know more about about your particular business than anyone else.  This comes from your research combined with your experience. TIME: You are going to need a lot more time to devote to your business than you are initially thinking.  Make sure to set aside enough and you should probably increase your estimate of time you will need for the business by 50%. PLAN: Plan everything out.  Not just so you know how to get where you are going, but so you know where you going to.
