    New business strategy

    +2 on what mader and bannerjohn said . think long and hard . dont think of your business a mill pond were every thing runs smoothly , cause your just in for failure . think of business as a perfect storm , always changing never ending and stressful . most of all it bloody hard work . cause i was in your spot 12 months ago and this isn't the first time to run a small business for me either. having said that ,we all have the dream of working for ourselves not really knowing what involved. where people start work at 7 am your up at 6 and when they finish at 4 pm you don't not until the job gets done . so that a piece of advise that you wont find in a book . you personally live it . i know its not what you wanted to here but......... this is real life not a story or a movie . no happly ever afters here just the truth.
  10. i have to agree with john on the new forum idea given the time difference and the way things are economically around the world . i would definably be in that. cause there are suppliers of particular brands of vinyl over here. these suppliers have a big monopoly on the market and what they charge .so if we could start our own forum , maybe just maybe we could start order more of the different colours of these brands of vinyl through usc . if not a licensed distributor ......... of usc over here!!. hint hint just my 2 cents . feel free to agree or disagree with this .

  13. hi all, a big sorry goes out for not posting sooner and being quite on posting and replying to the lastest posts . Ive been on my annual Christmas family get together. this year we decided to drive up to the next state and see our families this year and take some time to reflect on the year and plan for the next one . so off we went the 2 of us the 2000+ kilometers that we 've covered so far is great . I bit the bullet ( thank to your support) and start to do market stalls on the roadtrip, selling my stickers and drumming up so new business in the process. and i know you guys by now and you like to see pics so i will post them soon of the market stall and me and my wife running it . it didn't go as smooth as i would have hoped but i did cover my cost and have a little over to play with. I hope everyone has a great and safe Christmas with their families and loved ones and prosperous new year for all of the members of this my on-line family /community. Let's make 2010 one of our bloody best ever year in all avenue we may pursue . and may we keep encouraging one another to be the best that he or she can be This is my hope and prayer to my friends abroad. thanks for being there for me and my wife in 2009. from Pete and Kim (A.K.A the vinyl tree.)

    2tone mate, u said it yourself and the rules state that correct and technically there are only two designs. dont you think that the powers that be (mods etc.) that selected the top five would have gone over all entries to make shore that they all followed the rules .it doesn't state that it can not be shown in different fabric colours which is mader did. so there is no "unfair advantage " here at all
