True Grumbler
Hello all,
I would really like to post this on the grumble, but some glitch won't allow me to be logged on and see the text... I can 'lurk' unidentified and read, but really want to be part of the conversation.
I am embarking on my fourth career change (accountant, programmer, project manager...grumbler-in-training) and wanted to run my plans past all you. I have a business plan, marketing plan, have a contact at SCORE, have read Jay's book, planning to attend a week long training session in town. Purchased a chop, vise, mat cutter. I would really like a copy of the FACTS - can't find them on-line. anyone know where they are now? I have visited a couple in town framers (one home based and one retail) for their take on the business. I am starting out home based, but have my eye on some new retail space that should be open in the fall.
I have read all the tips you folks have posted, subscribed to PPFM and Picture framing magazine. I must be looking a the wrong Decor (ELLE) magazine - I saw no mention of framing, just lots of skinny models in clothes I can't afford.
Have I missed anything? shoot holes and offer suggestions please.
I have asked the 'framer god' to help me see the grumble. If I can I'll re-post there.
thanks for your time!
