Yeah that's right! My future hubby (wow, I normally hate that word yet here I am using it. I must be in a good mood) has his own business. Last week Tommy officially started it up, put up his website, and got some awesome looking business cards. He had been working towards it for a few months and now it is finally a reality. I'm still a bit skeptical about its possible progress not because I have no faith in him but because well I'm a worrier which comes with the territory of anxiety and because the economy is as we all know, down the toilet. But I am trying to ignore my feelings and be positive. That's another thing, I'm generally a negative person but I'm trying to break out of that.
So today he went out looking for potential customers. The response was great. 90% of it was positive and that was only within one city. I can't wait to see how this works out for him. Everyone seems to be impressed by his website and business cards, even those who are usually a little tactless when it comes to saying things and only put people down. So maybe my pessimistic attitude really IS all for nothing. I can only hope.
A little info on how he got into this and what his business is based on. Long story short, we know someone who owns the same type of business that Tommy is now into. When he found out that Tommy was engaged and looking for a job he offered to teach Tommy what he does so he could eventually start up his own business, basically to help him out out of the kindness of his own heart. Which is where we are now. Tommy is now an "Auto Decor Specialist." This is the first time I've ever heard of this particular title, but what he offers isn't anything new to me. It's a mobile business so Tommy will be going from auto body shops and car dealers to do a few "Decor" jobs on cars when something needs to be done that they can't do themselves or don't do well. Things like pin striping, wheel wells, blackout tape, applying decals, and stone squares. Tommy LOVES it. He says he has so much fun doing it and sometimes see some really awesome cars (muscle cars!). Apparently not many people in our area do this type of work, and the man who helped Tommy only has 3% of the auto body shops in the LA county area so everything else is basically up for grabs. The odds seem to be in our favor. Hopefully our hopes and dreams can come true when it comes to this business, and things can start going right for us. Only time will tell :)
