It all works out if you have a good business model, we spend a bit on heat, labor, supplies, and NEVER cut corners. When new people come in, many times they come back, that is the plan.

Always going to have the cost of doing business, thats for sure. For instance, the cost of Credit Card Processing. Myself along with a lot of other vendors use Square. I laugh when folks want to scoff at fees, you pay no more then about $3 on a $100 worth of charges. Ill gladly give up the $3.
Your only statement that I will disagree with is the "perfect product". Obviously thats highly subjective. Around these parts, folks dont want perfect. "Perfect" is synonymous with factory farms, etc.
Once again, thats highly subjective, obviously you grow what your customers want.
