EricaYou know, Erica brought up so many great words related to starting your own business.  In the next quote there's more.  We're going to hear "Getting money in the door"
Right.  "Pool of clients."
And "coming out of the woodwork."
"Coming out of the woodwork" is a slang expression meaning all of a sudden and from every direction.
Coming out of the woodwork, yes.
You're getting ahead of the story.  Here's Erica.   
I didn't end up getting a fulltime job for a while just to get money in the door because it takes a long time to start your own business.  And it took me a long time to get clients.  It took me about a year to get started a real pool of clients.  But the economy picked up again and then it was basically a full-year cycle.  And when I hit one-year I had clients coming out of the woodwork.  It was amazing.
Again, Yang Chen, you were right.  When she hit the one-year mark, clients started coming out of the woodwork.  And now she has a large pool of clients. She even has to turn people down.  
She has so many clients that she can undercut other businesses.
Exactly, that means she's undercutting other businesses.
To this day I'm still overwhelmed by clients.  I'm undercutting a lot of other businesses.  I should be charging much more than I am.  But you know, I'm working with small businesses and I like working with small businesses.
So, Yang Chen, the lesson here is don't worry about a lost opportunity.  It could lead to an even better opportunity.  
That's the right attitude.  Thanks for joining us on American Cafe!
