Yep...I learned this one the hard way as well. Get this...I've had 4 DIFFERENT customers take photos of hand lettered trucks that I had done for each of them, down to the 'quickie vinyl shop' in town, and had Edge prints of MY HAND LETTERED WORK done on vinyl, that they slapped on their new...

Glad I wasn't the only one noticing that this was his 4th post!

I will say this in defense of RM... Many of today signguys do NOT understand things like the way a nicely done hand done letter flows. Yes, you can by some lovely vectoirzed versions from some very good sources...but the ability to do them brings an understanding of what & how a nicely...

There ya go!

Here's an awesome book for anyone who really wants to move ahead in business (of any kind)... It's called "the E-Myth" by Micheal Gerber. It's a fascinating read about how a business grows and prospers, and altho I'm probably going to remain a 1-man operation, I learned a heck of a lot from...

This is known as an 'Anti-Competition Clause'...and is the only safe way to buy-out an existing business. Lesson learned the hard way. Welcome to the board!

Actually, I'm the most productive in the evenings. Visitors don't stop by, the phone is quiet, and my favorite radio show is on for me to enjoy uninterrupted. ('Echoes', on NPR) :rock-n-roll:

I've been at this game for 30 years now. And you know what??? I don't know ALOT of things on that 'so-called' list...especially the computer stuff. I don't know nuthin when it comes to computers, files and all that. But I can paint a pretty picher!!...does that qualify?? Awwwwww...Skrew...

I am a custom painter/builder, and alot of times I have a cool hot-rod, bike, or truck in my shop. I get these same guys who just wanna check out what cool project I'm working on today. I've told them countless times..."drop on by, say 'Hi', check stuff out...and then GO! I DO have work to do."...

pay HIM???!!!! He's lucky I don't go over there and punch him in the mouth!!! I'm going to try and buy my own place this spring (before the housing market jumps back up)...so hopefully, I won't be paying rent too much longer...and I won't have the jerk for a neighbor anymore. :thumb:

I got into a discussion on another thread the other day (on here) about how to compete against the other shops that offer 'quick signs'. Well, here's the perfect quote for those 'quickie' shops out there... You guys can spend your time fighting over 10 small 'quickie' signs. Knock 'em out in...

I think I'd like to add this... The MAIN reason I pull a camper behind my motorcycle, is for my wife's comfort. Sure, I do enjoy not sleeping on the ground...but if I go by myself, I travel very light. "If Momma's happy, then EVERYBODY's happy! And because of this blessed little trailer...my...

7 years?....really? most of the replys to this thread are from folks that have been in this business for 20 years or more (myself included). ....or maybe you need to re-evaluate your market. Do you like working for cheap-ass customers?? I sure know I don't! I'm doing this job, and taking on...

first (sorry...but this is a bit OT)... everyone on this thread is talking about campers they just bought, and/or are looking at buying...which is cool. But I think this shows how much more stable the economy is getting! We're talking about purchasing expensive TOYS here. (A year ago...

Now wait just a dog-gone moment here........ This lable reads "blinker fluid", and yet the picture clearly shows a HEADLIGHT bulb! What gives??? :banghead: Are you tryin' to pull a fast one on us??????
