Baby bibs may seem simple, but Molly Chen saw that most are not just unattractive, but can even be unsafe. Her answer to this problem is Bibs and Match, a company that sells organic bibs (therefore free of toxic materials).

It's true that a business is like a baby -- unless you're an entrepreneur who actually has children. Then you start to realize quickly that during all those years you ran a business and kept referring to it as your baby, you didn't know what the heck you were talking about.

While I'd love to hire full time or even part time help, I just can't afford it. So when someone offers to help with anything -- anything at all -- I happily accept.
Protecting Your Idea

I've gotten many inquiries from people who tell me that they too have an idea but don't know where to start. I was there. When I first started to pursue the Bibs and Match idea, I was so excited, but at the same time, was afraid to tell people (except for my trusted family and best friends of course). I worried that people would steal my idea.

With all the changes going on with the CPSIA and the slow economy among other things, I had to update my business plan recently. It wasn't the first time I had to revise it, and I know it's not going to be the last time. It's a living business plan -- it evolves as the marketplace changes and as my business grows.
