I own the company with my husband and we see our hard work and efforts pay off very well financially and we are quite proud of our company.
With the economy like it has been, our sales continued to increase in 2011 up 17% over 2010 which was an unbelievable year for the 2nd yr for us to be doing this full time. We are currently sold out for January 12 and booking steady orders for february and March right now.
We currently work from home, our inventory is warehoused. Hubby does the selling/consulting/brokering (raw materials industry) and I manage all travel arrangements, Quickbooks and financials.
We have no employees other than our daughter. When we do hire someone, the major perk will be health insurance because the way our LLC is set up, our company pays 100% of all health insurance costs. It is a small fortune each month but something we feel will be invaluablel to future employees.
I like being able to see what we have accomplished and I am happy to come to my office daily and keep it going! I also like the $$
