Thanks for the link to the article Walter, it sets it out quite nicely. 


As I said before, I'm not necessarily practising what I preach, as when you're a brand new business it's virtually impossible to cover all of your overheads from the few items you can sell.  However, I've tried to price so that if I am able to sell to the same capacity that I can make, then I should have a profitable business.  After just over a year I can see light at the end of the tunnel.  It is hard work though....constant marketing, researching, trialling new things, countless sleepless nights whilst I try and work out better ways of doing things, etc. 


I hope I haven't put too many people off!
