Hi there!

Posted by esmith321 on October 11, 2004 at 2:50 pm

Hi, thought i would say hello, i joined up a few weeks ago and find this forum the best out there. Everything i need to know is here.
We have been designing banners, signs and vehicle lettering for awhile now but working for someone else, so we have bit the bullet and decided to go at it alone.

Good luck to everyone starting off, its quite scary!

Hello and all the best to you
I know what you mean by scary, we started up business around 19 months ago and have never looked back (never had so little money though :lol1: :lol1: )

Well done for taking the plunge! It’s scary, but well worth the effort. The only thing I find is that you end up working all hours, but I still wouldn’t have it any other way

Best thing you could have ever done. Had our 1st birthday on the 1st October and it’s the best thing we have ever done. You’ll find the boards a great place to be – that’s when your not working.

Regards

Jill, sane…..yeah right.

Hello Esmith321 or can I call you E. Have you got a real name? It’s so difficult with you awkward buggers who don’t use your first names.

Anyway, welcome. Yes, it is quite scary, but it’s normal to feel that way. You’ll do fine I’m sure. I was very nervous about going it alone but now I’m the owner of a multinational…….well actually there’s just me. But I do alright. Best thing I ever did. Plus you’ll get plenty of support and encouragement from the weirdos on here….I mean members, yes members.
