My First Blog

Wow! What a ride life is. I am 45 years old and decided to really focus on starting a business. All the technology available... social media, blogs, email and the holy grail the web page with a shop. I spend hours a day updating Facebook, Tweeting and updating the website. This doesn't include the research for new ideas and looking for old furniture to re-purpose. All while I work full time. You see, I am a nurse by trade....I have been for almost 15 years.That is all I have known. And now.... My wonderful husband, who just happens to be the most supportive man I have ever met... has continually supported me in all of my crazy ideas from day one. I love redoing furniture.... I love to sand, paint and stain. I love to turn something old and discarded and make it new again, give it a new chance at life. Which is perhaps, why my specialty is geriatrics. I have seen so many people dropped off and forgotten.  I have sat and heard stories about wars, the dust bowl, prohibition and the great depression. I have learned home remedies, depression recipes, caning and so many other things. The elderly are a wealth of knowledge if you just take the time to listen. I have sat and listened, held hands, hugged patients and families, I have been there when they went home and passed away. I have thought a lot about the direction of my life and career. I have decided to go the direction of becoming a small business owner. We have opened Show Me Custom Designs.Its a custom t-shirt business. We also do vinyl decals and signs. I have set up a Facebook page, Twitter, Google plus, Etsy, Shopify and a few others I cant think of right now. I have had the website for months and just literally went live last night!!! I am not even kidding!!! So how does this all work? How does it get out there? This is a waiting game for those of you who don't know. We do have 82 likes on our Facebook page!!! Each and every like is like winning the lottery. I can't express to you the realization of rating the success of your business by how many likes we have on Facebook. I run and hunt my husband down and tell him about the new like. So as if one home based business is not enough, I now introduce to you... MK Custom Designs, Carthage, Mo. I am asking for punishment.I know. But please, take the time to give my Facebook a like, re tweet our tweets and visit our website.  www.showmecustomdesigns.com https://www.facebook.com/showmecustomdesigns/  @showmecustom  Thank you for reading my short intro.
