I am on it. I am working on the logo,online presence ect. Working as a painter full-time already and going to school as well.

Any advice from guys who worked for themselves in a trade business?
 

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.

You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

Never did any of that but the thing that would drive me crazy with people who started these was many treated it as a hobby rather than a business...

Meaning they would get the work done whenever they felt like it instead of when they promised it.

If you start a business then you treat it like a business and when you make promises to customers you keep them even if it means it inconveniences you.

You show up when you say you are going to show up and you get the work done when you say you'll get the work done.

What do you use to paint big circles? Like what type of masking can you use that has a perfect circle?

It is not clear whether you will do it yourself (alone) or as an entrepreneur (hiring other people)?

Hi New Journey,
If Gamisch has any sense he will avoid work like that...
You can't really mask a circle,the method I have used,is to put a pin or fine nail at radius centre,get a length of string,tie a small noose at one end,slip over pin/nail ...get a soft pencil,expose about 3/16th inch of lead,curl it around the string at extremity of radius and then scribe the circle...obtain a signwriters brush and carefully paint your circle...good luck.
