Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - JPM: One year in business

Great story--I envy your courage to break away from the business world and strike out on your own. This is the American dream and hope it is a fruitful venture.

Some small advise--marketing your services is the a major key to your future success. It is a numbers game with the more "impressions" you make via the internet, word of mouth, etc. the more work you will get.

As you know I had my GXP's interior redone by Bill Dunn's Upholstery, the folks that do the interior work for Overhauling projects. They told me by having their name on the back wall of the Overhauling set brings them all kinds of business. It is one thing to do good work, that is fundamental to success, but without your name/work being marketed success can be limited.

Will forward the interior diameter of the Momo shift knob this weekend so you can coordinate the fabrication of the new shift rod.
