Default Hello. Another Newcomer

Hello all. I started my business last year in October. I snowplowed this winter and now looking forward to the spring / summer season. Hopefully this year will be a good one.

Default Own Business

I think what really got me serious about starting my own business is when I was looking for contractors last year to come out and help me with my property - and I could not get any to return my calls. I figured if there was really that much demand - I should start something up myself. Of course, I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit.

Isnt that amazing!

Knowing this is a big benefit for you because you could include this in your marketing material. The fact that you will either answer your phone or call the customer back in X amount of time could be a huge selling point.
