Ryan Lupberger has faced exactly this problem. He raised $10,585 on Kickstarter forCleancult,his "non-toxic laundry detergent." Then he learned that manufacturingalonewould cost double what he anticipated. To fulfill all his orders, he'd lose more money than he'd earned -- a recipe for going broke.

So what did he do?

First, he looked at the positives. "We lost a fair amount of money," he says, "but it was essentially, like, okay, we know that there is a market validation. My customers like the formulation."

Kickstarter may have cost him money, but it also proved that he's onto something. Now he just had to figure out how to get his costs down -- and he did. However, it took him to very unexpected places, and required a major life change.
