    taking the leap!

    Partnered with a doctor i have worked with for a few years and opening our own practice!!

    almost through the remodel on the office space, so in a buying frenzy.... i am amazed how many little things i always took for granted everywhere else now that i have to make sure everything is in place.


    boring story i know, but thought i would share and figured this is the most fitting place to share it.

    here is our new logo... thats what made it real to us. it went from an idea and dream to a holy crap we are doing it adventure. then when we signed the lease, then construction starting, and im sure once we are up and running we will have a few more of those moments.

    Thanks johns, thats what i figure. its a situation i have wanted to be in, and if i didnt try it i know i would regret it.

    Thanks everyone for the support, im sure i will bug all of you in the future for advise and what not.

    Ha harry, we are working on getting a big metal WB roadrunner for the office now, along with some ACME crates and a couple TNT balls... subtle decorations.

    Congratulations and best of luck in your new endevour. We are much alike in our thinking.
    I didn't want any regrets after I retired and didn't want to say, "You know I should have tried opening my own store."
    When I opened I didn't have a doctor and there was no Optiboard so you are already ahead of the game.

    Regards,

    Everything is all set, and running for the most part. still waiting on VSP... shame... but running aside from that.

    our website should be live soon, so you can see where my blood, sweat, tears, time, and attention from my family has gone...


    its amazing all the resources that are available now that werent before, so now there are less excuses to not do well, or try well.
