Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

As a reasonably successful businessman (4 going at the present time)
I think I know opportunity when I see it. The onus is on Paul.
Considering the backlog and the interest expressed by some MOTMers
in assembling modules for others, Paul will have to decide to either
do something about the backlog himself or sit back and let someone
else take care of it. Someone certainly will if the opportunity to
make money is there whether sanctioned by Paul or not. This does
raise the question of whether someone assembling the kits could get
the kits themselves fast enough to make up the backlog. I've built
all my own modules, 53 since November, but I'm still waiting for 2
300s, 2 800s, 1 700 on order since November. I can't complain too
much because I still have backlog myself and Paul knows this. Still
if Paul could assemble a team to kit and build the modules under his
supervision, he could concentrate more on design, come up with 15 or
20 new modules per year (hah!) and grow his business exponentially.
But employees cost money, far more than just their hourly wage. I'm
sure Paul has spent more time contemplating how to grow his business
than anyone realizes. Of course if MOTM gets big enough Behringer
will reverse engineer it and have a whole line of modules built in
China.
