Seriously???

So years ago I read something about how to market your product. I can't remember the name of the book or the author, but I do remember them suggesting that you have people go into shops asking for your products, and then you, as the product creator, go to those shops asking if they want to carry your product. I always thought that was sort of clever, but it just didn't seem quite right. Well today I spoke with the woman who runs the farmers market. She said that someone who had purchased my 'Nola before asked at the Farmers Market where I was. SERIOUSLY??? I don't know this person (by name, anyway), and it was an honest-to-goodness request!!! It doesn't get much better than this.... Until I'm really at the market this Saturday. I CAN'T WAIT!!! VISION. I created my first draft company vision today and posted the long darn thing on my web site. I learned that your vision is truly a visual.. (seems intuitive and obvious, right?) and that you write it in the present tense, as if you're seeing it happen right now. That makes sense after learning it, but it didn't occur to me beforehand.
