Default RE: From Hobby to job

We started out doing PC as a hobby. We (my 22 year old son & I) opened up a commercial shop last Oct 01, 2004. At first the work came in so fast we could not turn it out fast enough. We backed off from advertising. Now we direct market to Car, hobby & Motorcycle clubs & shops. We are also lucky enough to have a large marine & science industry. We are not making tons of $$, but since day one, we have made enough to pay the bills. Every week we are suprised at how many people look us up & from how far away we are drawing new customers. We are now looking at offering some polishing & small chroming service, as many of our customers are asking for it.
