  2. Waste Ink

    There is some truth to this. My brother in law worked for a dump company and he said most of the time all the recycle bins we had in the city on garbage day went in the dump in the same place as the garbage, it didn't get separated. He never separated his garbage from recycles as it was a waste...

    The outlet covers aren't straight?
  4. Employee side business

    My BF has been a welder his entire career and does some welding on the side but he never charges anyone for labor. So many people told him over the years he should do it full-time. I got him all set up, got him business cards and shirts and books set up. He just won't do it...he gets scared...
  5. Employee side business

    I started doing this because my husband at the time had a race car and it was too expensive and hard to find people to letter them. I bought a cutter and LXI. I learned from the internet and from all of you! My parents and sister have always been in business so it made sense for me to do so also.
  6. Employee side business

    I would estimate most new businesses start because they worked for someone else doing the same thing or something similar. It's part of the chance you take hiring people but if I found out through the grapevine, I would be MAD. If they were honest, I would have to do some thinking on how to...
  7. Flexi/ Bitmap Crop Tool

    So it's the year 2022...16 later and I am having the same problem, was this fixed? When I raster my rotated png, the background turns white, despite selecting "transparent". My work around is to create a jpeg of the entire project then crop the whole thing. It's a pain when you have 10+ of...

    That's awesome! LMAO!!!!
  9. Hiring a business coach

    "Practice what you preach" - that's the best thing anyone said on here yet. I would never take advice from anyone who is not more successful than I am (which doesn't take much LOL). Gnubler, the best thing you can do is befriend someone in your town that is a successful business person and...
  10. Hiring a business coach

    I agree a business is a business. I have a few business friends who I chat with often. The best part is talking about customers that peeve us off. In a small town many are the same! LOL Last week I had a guy ask me how I keep my books and do my invoicing so we sat behind my computer for a while...

    The S is not straight. Jumped out at me.
  12. Hiring a business coach

    I wonder if a LEAN person would be a good first start? Especially once you get your shop set-up and use it for a little bit. Maybe once everything is perfectly organized and as efficient as possible you won't have as many issues with being overwhelmed? A business plan is good but it seems like...

    I just fell off my chair when I checked my FB this morning. I got this sign done yesterday and posted it on my FB page. Gino saved my life with bringing my little heater, sun was out but it was still a bit cool with the breeze. Two hoodies and my coat, took my coat off cuz I was getting too...
  14. City zoning code experiences for business location

    We are zoned in districts, and not much to choose from. I just looked on our map and I'm commercial service. The building should already be zoned maybe?

    Yes, I completely agree. This is a new restaurant leasing the building down the road and they open on Saturday. They just stopped in Friday so, I can't really wait now. I'm going ahead with the vinyl. I''m not sure what's behind the panel that's there so that scares me a bit screwing into it...
  18. Design: How to?

    As for the black and red...you can get that super close. Just upload the photo to scale and draw the lines. Victor has the right method for making the bug black and red. I think you will be surprised how quickly you can do this :)
  19. Design: How to?

    If you go on Shutterstock, search "spider isolated", etc. this will pull up the below. As for making them black and white, someone else can explain that, it looks like they also added a transparency. In my experience, most people are perfectly fine with "getting close" which I think the below...

    Oh boy! We must think alike...I told them I'm sending some new versions over because it's hard to read the name and this is pretty much exactly what I had LOL
