Tree 0 Posted December 15, 2007 Well I'm taking the plunge. After a lot of years working for the man, I decided to open my own buisness. Some of you already know, I've been in the process of setting up my own powder coating business (DBS Blast and Powder Coat). It looks like everything is coming together and the official start of business will be January 7th '08. So, if anyone needs some powder coating or sand blasting give me a call or just stop on by the shop. The shop is at 1666 n. magnolia ave. suite k el cajon. The number is 619-596-6769. I also have a website at dbspowdercoat.com. OK spam mode over, but I'd be glad to get some of your feedback on business advice or opinions on my website.

Kaw'ee 10 Posted December 15, 2007 . Hey Dwayne...good luck with your new adventure, most small business I've worked for and friends I know that started a business say its a toss up. When its good, its really good, but when its bad, its really bad...you'll probably never get rich with all the trade outs and favorites to friends, but most usually prefer it over just punching a clock. after working with you for the past several years you know what I do, so if you need anything I can help you with to get up and running, you have my number. of course we 'll have to work out a of trade of some kind.... See, its already started. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks for the offer Kaw'ee. And yes now I'm the Man. What fun would be owning a business if you couldn't cut you friends a break on the price. I should be getting the last of the equipment set-up this week. If anyone is in the neighborhood stop on by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ride-Orange 2 Posted December 17, 2007 Congratulations pal, and nice website. If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that YOU WILL NOT FAIL!! This is the start of a grand adventure. I have a couple of ideas for you that may help Braxton in his sales development, so I'll see you soon. p.s. I prefer the 12 hours from 0600-1800, that way you have the NEXT 12 available for whatever you didn't get done in the first 12 Welcome to business ownership...

Tree, congradulations. I am sure you will be able to find time to do some fun things, unlike Ride-Orange that never has any fun, unless he is taking a day to ride in Mexico, or D-38 stuff, or thunder boat stuff, or a day game at Petco, or............ .

Ken HEY! All that stuff CAUSES hard work... like recouperating from a crash or a hang-over or having to make-up the time you should have spent working but were off screwing around.
