How We Got Started
Regarding my website: I designed and developed my website in 2013 and spent over $20k on having it custom-made. What a mistake that was as I had to redesign and update the website 5 years later due to software advancements. I could write a book on what NOT to do when starting a new website. I've learned a lot and made countless new connections over the last 8 years since starting the website. In July of 2021 I decided to close down the site as I no longer had the time to invest into it. I am always willing to help new business ventures where I can to help them avoid the mistakes I made.

Always greet them by using their name. I do business with Amegy Bank which is part of Zion Bank, Inc. I've been with them for over 30 years...I started with a locally owned Citizen Bank in Dickinson, TX, then they got bought out by SouthWest Bank, and then Amegy bought them....why the lineage? Customers like myself stay with business that treat them well. We live in a world with countless banks and I want to do business with people that treat me like they WANT MY BUSINESS! My wife and I just had a terrible interaction with Wells Fargo and we were treated like thieves just because we were attempting to deposit a sizeable check. My wife has used them for over 15 years. We closed her account and moved her to Amegy for the same reason....Customer Service make a difference.

Living in the Houston area where HEAT is the main issue puts a strain on our electricity usage. I'm just happy we have our range, water heater, and central heat using Natural Gas. It save us lots of money on a yearly basis. We have friends that are 100% electric and our combined bills are...

Living in the Houston area where HEAT is the main issue puts a strain on our electricity usage. I'm just happy we have our range, water heater, and central heat using Natural Gas. It save us lots of money on a yearly basis. We have friends that are 100% electric and our combined bills are always way less. I just wish we had the fore-sight to have asked for a gas connection for our dryer.

I identified a need for an information firearms industry website and I had some saving to utilize to plan, design, and implement my website. So in June of 2013 I launched the Conceal and Carry Network at www.concealncarry.net and the rest is history. I could actually write a book on what to do next time if I were to do it again. To answer your question of my I chose this field or area of expertise...it's because I am an avid gun-lover and very pro-2nd Amendment with a lot of Patriotic passion sprinkled in.

I have been working for close to 40 years and my most unique experience came from my current employer that utilized the skills and aptitude testing from Indeed.com I recently read a book called TRACTION by Gino Wickman and this company had adopted the concept of hiring the right person for the right position. After years of competing and trying to get hired to the best position possible I was matched based on my personality, experience, and skill set to a position that matched my strengths with the position they wished to fill. Smart move for them and a great opportunity for me to do well in my new position.
That depends on the type of jewelry. I managed a jewelry store for over 14 years and found that stainless steel is great for men's jewelry as they don't want to spend a lot on themselves. 18k gold is best for thicker rings as you get the feel and weight of platinum without the cost and it's...

That depends on the type of jewelry. I managed a jewelry store for over 14 years and found that stainless steel is great for men's jewelry as they don't want to spend a lot on themselves. 18k gold is best for thicker rings as you get the feel and weight of platinum without the cost and it's easy to make custom 18k rings. It's best for retailers to be well versed in all options and then to explain the benefits and disadvantages of each metal for the clients new purchase.

It is unlikely a 5 year lease will be long enough to get you any concessions. Most retail lease terms are for 10 years. At that length of time you can ask the leasing company to give some form of financial concession around your stores new build-out. Many times they will negotiate based on...
