Thinking Late About My Business

I am sitting up late here on Saturday, trying to think about what it means to own a business. You need to have passion and energy about what you do. And, you need to be able to move quickly with a sense of urgency. I decided to go into the blind, shade and shutter business. Why? I don't know. But it does seems like a good, honest, and noteworthy business to own. Start up cost are not that much (relative to...say starting a McDonald's). But, when it comes down to it, it is a business where you are improving peoples lives. You are making there home as livable as possible.

So, we go on in our business and try to provide the best customer service and best customer experience possible. You know everyone says that. But I mean it. Look, I have been in the corporate world long enough. I know what NOT to do. So, my philosophy is do everything opposite to what the big corporate company which is hard to do business with. And I think that is what is really about..trying to stand out from the competition and be different. And do it with honesty, integrity, forthrightness (is that even a word?) and...be passionate about it.

So, that is what you will get at Atlanta Discount Blinds. And, that is my promise!
