At a recent business trip, I was purchasing brief cases for the leather goods chain that I am part owner of. I was, of course, trying to get the best wholesale deal possible, allowing me to be able to purchase more inventory. I was a little bit nervous, as I am quite new to the whole business owner world.

I did end up getting a wonderful deal, which allowed for me to also purchase a small inventory of leather handbags, which I am sure are going to sell very quickly. I must say, I was pretty impressed with myself, as was my partner, who had stayed back to mind the business.

The inventory did, indeed move very quickly, prompting the scheduling of another purchasing trip. We are looking into expanding to selling oriental rugs in the store as well. We have had a lot of good feedback on the idea and are now in the process of finding suppliers that will ship on low quantities, until we find out if they will sell.
