<p>“The exciting dynamic with start-ups is the tremendous growth. <a class="zem_slink" title="General Electric" rel="homepage" href="http://www.ge.com/">GE</a> or <a class="zem_slink" title="Wal-Mart" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=36.3641666667,-94.2163888889&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=36.3641666667,-94.2163888889%20%28Wal-Mart%29&amp;t=h">Wal-Mart</a> can’t touch the infinite growth rate,” explains co-founder Taylor <a class="zem_slink" title="Fox Broadcasting Company" rel="homepage" href="http://www.fox.com">Fox</a>. Investors are often thrilled with modest 10% growth rates of these <a class="zem_slink" title="Blue chip (stock market)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_chip_%28stock_market%29">blue chip</a> stocks, but not in Southwest Missouri. Local investor Greg Leezak explains his <a class="zem_slink" title="Investments" rel="wikinvest" href="http://www.wikinvest.com/metric/Investments">investment</a> strategy, “I invest in businesses I understand, and I understand coloring on my own clothes is fun. How could this <a class="zem_slink" title="Business" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business">business</a> not succeed?”</p>
<p>The infinite growth is causing a panic at <a class="zem_slink" title="Missouri State University" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.19971,-93.28079&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=37.19971,-93.28079%20%28Missouri%20State%20University%29&amp;t=h">Missouri State</a> business classes. Assuming Wearable Art sold $10,000 worth of product this month and none last month, (10,000-0)/0 yields an error on students’ calculator. “The teacher was so flustered by the situation. He had no idea what the error meant and just cancelled class,” explains a relieved student Kimberly Foster.</p>
<p>But with infinite growth comes problems as co-founder Mike Wakefield, in charge of production, points out. “The machines are working infinitely harder than last month, I am working infinitely harder and we have to order an infinitely larger amount of shirts and coloring pastels.”</p>
<p>Wearable Art’s initial success has sparked a rush of investor interest but Fox is hesitant. “It will be difficult to continue this rate of growth and I am fearful investors will be disappointed if we come off this growth rate next month.” Investing aside, kids can now express themselves on their clothes, and what is better than that?</p>
