Meet Clara:
She has daddy just where she
wants him; wrapped around her
finger. Clara loves Dora &
Dancing. Oh, and she likes to
pick on her big brother Conner.
She wants to be a teacher when
she "grows up". An interest in
furniture has already sparked,
as she has learned that daddy
can make cool stuff for her room.

Meet Trigger:
He is your typical shop dog.
Don't let the picture fool you,
he is vicious! Trigger is a big
fan of our milk paint; he likes
to lick the wet paint off the
furniture. Needless to say, he
is no longer aloud to hang
around the shop when
finishing time arrives.
Smart dog!

Meet Tigger:
Tigger is a new addition to the
crew, but he catches on quick.
You can find him in this
position most of the time, with
the exception, of the
occasional 3:00 A.M. Pounce.

good little wood worker.
Recently, he has some
interest in helping come up
with new furniture designs;
he has good ideas!

Meet Justin:
Hi, I'm Justin and this is my
family. I am a fifth generation
woodworker. I started to
make furniture twelve years
ago to finance my education.
The trade stuck with me, as it
became part of who I am. I
love what I do. Making
furniture is more than being
able to construct an object; it
is an art. My dog Trigger is
my shop partner. We work
hard to keep up with
production year round.

| Business Economics-101 |
As children, we are taught that hard work produces results.
As adults, we learn that hard work leads to a little more
"hard work", and some times, it pays off. I guess it is just the
American way; we all work hard only to find another obstacle
around the corner. We try to do everything for ourselves in
hopes of someday reaching the "American Dream".
Have you ever tried to pull that old pair of jeans out
of your closet, only to find no matter how you maneuver
your body they just don't fit? I remember learning how
entrepreneurs can get to big for their britches back in
Business Economics 101, but I never thought it would happen
to us. We were two very determined small town kids with a
handful of wishes in one hand and a whole lot of student
loans in the other.
Those of you who are "self-employed" know what I mean.
There are so many more sacrifices involved than the old
glorified working for yourself cliché. You have to love what
you do and not mind when you don't get a day off. You
wonder if your product, or service is good enough, or can be
better. Talk of business sneaks up and consumes your
thoughts; not to mention the conversation at the dinner
table.
It was only when we realized a need to let go of old habits
that we began to see results. Think of it this way, you raise
and nurture your children the best way you know how. At
some point in time, you take the advice of others to help
them grow. It is the same concept with a small business. At
some point in time you have to stop doing everything
yourself, swallow your pride and ask for help.
For most small businesses, success depends on cash flow.
If you are in the manufacturing business, cash flow depends
on the rate of production. We didn't need someone to invest
money. We needed good builders who would take just as
much pride in the quality of their work as we did. It is this
point in time when you realize letting go is the only path to
your business growth.
Hard work does pay off, but don't forget to listen to the
advice of others when they offer. Start trusting others to do
the same quality of work as you. Eventually, your business
will grow naturally. Success is not measured by the amount
of money you make. Instead, it is measured by having the
ability to get paid doing what you love and loving what you
do. Only then did we realize, we were already living the
"American Dream"!
