“Never forget that a business should afford you the possibility of accomplish- ing the things you really want out of life ......."
As we complete our nineteenth year, there have been some ups and downs, most recently it’s been the economy. Today we are in one of those downturns, but things are getting better and as we move into our twentieth year, businesses should once again get back to investing in their business and start advertising again. We’ve met with hundreds of businesses over the years and many of them have since closed their doors for one reason or another. Being in business for as long as we have is a great accomplishment; it puts us in a special group that only a select few get to be a part of. You know, when we first got started in 1991, I wished we had the start up capital that allows businesses of all kind to go as much as five years without turning a profit, we didn’t have that cushion so we had to be in the black(no pun intended) our first year.
If you are getting ready to venture out to become an entrepreneur, I would recommend investing in a good business plan and get the necessary start up capital required. If the capital is lacking, then go for your dreams with a sound plan that covers every possibly scenario from the uniform you wear to the words you use. Never forget that a business should afford you the possibility of accomplishing the things you really want out of life and If you find yourself working more than eight hours a day without any benefits, then you may have a tough job instead of a real business.
Along this journey over the past nineteen years, we have been very fortunate to be blessed with great people that are truly the life blood of what we do; and I say thank you to all of them from the bottom of my heart. Today we have a team of people that are dedicated to serving our customers with the highest level of integrity; and going forward, we will be even more vigilant in delivering exceptional service. We promise to help your business grow so you can have a twentieth year anniversary someday. Please feel free to contact us if just to say hello or to be included in our publication, but in either case we would like to hear from you.
