To further my statement in the post above, I think we'd all like to see him succed in some way, shape or form...instead of standing in the welfare line. JB

I say "go for it". Failure is only failure if you fail to learn something, and if you really have the entrepreneurial spirit, it will only be a stepping stone to something more suited to your personality. I used to scoff at a friend who was the epitome of all "serial entrepreneurs". After...

Hands down...AutoCAD...it's absolutely precise when I need it to be, plus it allows me the artistic flexibility to do bezier curves for free-form designing. It has a lot of other goodies not included in most design software. It (ACAD) "plays" very nicely with Adobe Illustrator and SignLab with...

Cool...never thought of that. JB

After looking over my reading list, I believe it's too long to include on this thread so I converted it to a .pdf and put it on our web page. If you're curious, it's at: http://jarsa.net/Reading_List.pdf To date it's comprised of 27 books, but I may have a few others lurking beyond the...

Let me re-pharase that...brown & pink are the new green! JB

Kinda makes me think of a birthday cake. Haven't you heard? Brown and Pink are the new "black". Don't believe me? Just go check out the fashion department, the school supply department and anything kid/teen related. I began noticing that last year. Whoda thunk?! JB

Gotta give 'em credit for creativity. JB

Wow...what a sweetie! My "baby" girl turned 21 last month. Now all I have to do is get her married off and start waiting for grandbabies. JB

I like the nylon squeegees...they're tough as nails. JB

Gino...I suspected something like that would be coming from you. You crack me up. And yep...I'm long overdue for another premium membership. I'm adding that to my list. Tim...Hillsdale College is the crown jewel of this community and their library is jam packed with more resources than I...

Ka-Ching! JB

As a former vocational trades teacher, it was mandated that we accumulate a minimum number of professional development hours each year. For the most part, we were allowed the freedom to choose those activities and seminars that we deemed beneficial to our needs. So...now that I'm a business...

For the most part employees who are not cross trained just get bored (or burned out). And I believe the chances of them leaving are greater if they know that they'll be able to grow and improve somewhere else. I did. But on the flip side of all that, we all are aware of dead end jobs that...

I'm just a one-man show, but if I had employees, you can bet that I'd be doing some cross training. As a former trade-school instructor, I think it would be prudent to do to do some sort of "skills, abilities & aptitude" assessment to determine the potential areas of success for each...

Cool stuff. I'm also a member on the CES forum and I started my business six years ago with help from some of the other members. We do mostly natural boulders and cemetery monuments and lots of engraved fundraiser bricks. Cemetery memorials made from natural boulders are a strong seller...

Sent you a PM. JB

Contentment is worth a whole lot more than most people give it credit.

I thinking about one of those big wheels...like the one on the Price is Right. I would put my job sheets on each numbered spot and just give it a whirl. Customers would pay extra to have their job sheet posted on a "most likely" spot. JB
