Hi Rick,

Welcome to our forum!

What initially got you started in this business? It sounds very impressive!

Thanks Steve.

Well I started in the automotive field about 10 years ago selling aftermarket car and truck parts for customizing your vehicle. I had always needed decals and such for my own business and about 6 years ago I decided to buy my own vinyl cutter to be able to make what i needed in house. I had then starting getting requests for vinyl work and saw that the market in my are was great for it and I sold the parts business to get into signs.

It has treated us pretty good so far. My biggest goal is to help out other guys starting or running their small business and keep prices at what they can afford. We have just grown so much by doing that. 2009 was our best year yet and I hope to beat that in 2010.

I bet there are a lot of similarities between running your business and running a lawn care business.

For instance, you have different locations and that would be similar to a lawn care business having different crews.

Could you share with us some of your insight as to how you made the jump from no employees to your first employee? How did your operation change then?

Also how did it change when you went from 1 location to two? How did you manage that?
