(I apologize if you tried to watch this before the 19th, apparently YouTube hates uncompressed video sound.)
Now, if you've watched this, you'll appreciate that I really don't expect the turmoil in the EU to really affect the sales of soap and crafts at local festivals, unless maybe a supplier whose product we use gets their sheep's milk from Greece, it could pose a problem when there's a general labor strike and for some reason transportation is completely shut down. The solution for us, though, would be pretty simple: we'd just use a different kind of sheep's milk when we made the soap.
I can appreciate, though, that if were in a different business, there would be some kind of immediate and appreciable effect on pricing, availability, and/or supply. As a for instance, there's a high quality product I use in my current (real) job that we sometimes have a problem importing due to overly complicated political machinations. The product comes from Italy and depending on the weather (political climate), it can get held up in customs, sometimes for months.
For the next video blog, I'm going to interview a real life entrepreneur and get some of the dirt on what it's really like getting a business up and running in today's environment.
