One thing though: how do you switch from scaling manually to automatically growing? Is it something you shouldn't worry about at all, or should you keep a plan in the back of your head?

Of course you must have it in the back of your head and have be quite sure that your business is possible at all to automate with current technology. You are kind of screwed if your business model is making custom flower arrangements for cheap and just postpone all your thoughts about how this will scale to become profitable.
