I put this on the back of my truck today.
I have been very busy lately with everything going on around here. I made a new logo for my sign business. Please, let me know what you think of it!
I have also received my first job! I was commissioned by this customer to do his business's truck doors along with a bunch of various decals for him. Hopefully I can get my name out there so I can drum up additional business. Not as easy as it sounds because my customer supplied his business card with his logo and I had to scan it, adjust it, rastorize and vector it before I could plot it. It took a little while but it is done. I will show you the finished product when I get the door logos installed.
I am also 100% legal with this business in Delaware, 10 minutes on the computer and $75.00 later, I had a business license in my hand. Sometimes you have got to love the State of Delaware. I had to change the name to Signs by MFC as Signs by Mike was already registered.
I also made up a couple hundred business cards to pass out to anyone and everyone. Tried my hand at putting my logo on a couple of coffee cups and am fairly impressed with the outcome. I still have to set up the company bank account and get the accounting system up and running.
As you can see I have a couple of irons in the fire, I worked on my first job yesterday and have everything ready to go with the exception for the door logos. I am waiting for the green material to arrive.
I am thinking about a website to display the items I offer and allow for an interactive customer experience. Customers will be able to order the decal of their choice and personalize it so they get what they want and not a stock item that we may have on hand. I have a lot of ideas for this.
Like I said in the past I am not going back to Detroit without a fight!
Deb's mom is still stable with no significant changes since earlier in the week. Deb on the other hand is driving herself into the ground. She has been sleeping for the past 17 hours, only waking up to use the bathroom.
I feel for her and I know first hand what she is going though, I had exhausted myself when she was in the hospital for a couple of weeks and I still had to work and at that time take care of our daughter along with going to the hospital as many times each day that I possibly could. It takes quite a bit out of you after the first couple of days!
Last Friday she was really pissed off at me when she had to take her car in for service at 7:30 am. I have been telling her about this for the past three months and all she ever said was that she would take care of it. Well I got a call from corporate on Thursday telling me that this vehicle needed to be done by the end of the week. So I set up the appointment for Friday morning at the dealer.
I woke her up on Friday morning before I left for work. She started to complain immediately and kept asking why I could not just drop it off? Well I explained to her that I had a mandatory meeting I needed to attend that morning and that I don't drive the car so why should I have to take it in.
At 7:25am my cell phone rings and when I answered it my wife began, almost screaming, that she talked to some guy outside the dealer and they didn't open until 8:00. I calmed her down and let her know that this gut was incorrect and that the service department will be open at 7:30. While she was talking to me on the phone the big service door magically opened nad another gentleman waived my wife into the service area.
Well I thought this was all over when my phone rang again and this time my wife was bitching that they will not be done with the car until later that afternoon, and she was not going to sit there all day long! I guess she had a list of little issues that needed to be addressed.
I had to miss my mandatory meeting and take her home, she was apologizing all the way to the house for getting so upset about things. I guess it was my fault she kept putting this off in the first place!
Well that is all I've got for today. If you are interested in any decals for you car, boat, trailer, & ect. just send an e-mail to signsbymfc@comcast.net.
God Bless us all,
Mike
