That's BS. I've learned from my life experiences to never take anything for granted. This is not "paranoid", it's just being smart. Those who trek along in life like it's always going to be fine and dandy, are going to set themselves up for a hard fall. This goes for anything in life, not just business.
My point is that if you are going to take an order for 10,000 beads, you had better make sure that you have some lampworker friends on standby to make these beads if you can't. If you don't have a back-up plan, then taking on such a huge responsibility is not smart. My parents were artists and they ran a really good business, but they didn't take dumb risks. They had back-up for everything, and they never bit off more than they could chew.
