    Went up to the next level on the totem pole.

    I moved up to the next level of the totem pole. I just order some really nice Business cards off of Vistaprint, Bought a back window decal for my truck, and I'm going to be getting Liability insurance, in the next week or two. So I think I'm moving up pretty quick. Next order of business at least for me is to buy/finance a Mini-Barn or "Shed" to use to process things. All of my storage is outdoor storage, I have like unlimited Outdoor storage, but, I have like no indoor storage at all. So I need to buy a Shed to house the E-waste and to have a little workbench with shelves for tools and what not to break things down. After that, maybe upgrade even more, but I don't know how I'm gunna upgrade from there yet.

    So yeah, I can't wait to start handing out business cards to my current clients and potential clients.

    Way to go. Small steps and pay for the building with cash. Keep up the good work.

    My brother and I love vistaprint for our business needs. We've spent the last couple days working on our shop and organizing it. We converted my old house into our shop. Next project will be building somewhere we can back our trucks into beside the house

    It amazing what a little education, initiative, and hard work can produce. Congrats on your success.

    I don't like debt but I do like the biggest shed you can get. My shed is 10 X 28 and its very difficult to get around so much of my work is still done outdoors. Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    Yeah, We're planning on building a Pole building with 4 garage stalls with about 10 to 15 feet of shop space behind the stalls. I'll have a good shop there. That won't be for a couple years though, but when it happens, I'll have the shed I buy/build as storage when I start working in the pole building.
