I'm curious, what makes you so sure that she's going to burn out?
She's been open 5 years. Her policies, decisions, vision, and success have enabled her to hire 3 employees in the last two years. One is tasked to do nothing but load and operate the Gammills. The other two run the shop when the owner is not there. Her shop was featured in a national quilt magazine as one of the top 10 shops for that year. She's had a quilt she designed published in another national quilt magazine, and has won awards for her quilts in Portland's largest quilt show. Sure, at first she was spending every waking moment building her business, but she's done a very good job laying a solid foundation for a successful quilt shop that can and does run smoothly without her.
As I said, I think she's doing everything right.
