While working yesterday I got a phone call to inform me that I have landed another contract to do installs for a fairly large box store in Fayetteville, NC. I was not expecting this to happen but did fill out all paperwork and sent it in a couple months ago. I am very blessed to have landed this additional work. It is only one store but they should be able to boost their appliance sales now that they have met with me and are very satisfied with my recommendations and reviews of my business.
The economy is bad right now but remember that if you want to be successful, you can be!!! I restarted my business here in North Carolina after being burned out of my home in 2008 with no insurance to replace everything we lost in the house fire and losing my job after the house fire. With some power and hand tools and the knowledge and background in my trade, I raised $800.00 and bought an old Chevy Van and pounded the pavement looking for work. It was slow at first but along with taking some free starting your own business courses at the community college, I was able to gain the confidence that I could actually have my own business and be my own boss. It has been very hard and I have been on the losing end of being let go, but through it all I remained determined to get back on my feet and do it without any financial help. I prayed and was very tenacious about soliciting for work and now I have two contracts and am feeling really good that all my hard work is paying off. There have been many out here who have encouraged me and helped me and I am very blessed to have an extended family out here. In short I just wanted to say Thanks to everyone out here who has encouraged me to "keep on keeping on" Remember the American dream is not dead. if you want to be successful, you can.
