Cost of being too friendly...

It seems the more you try and help someone the more they expect.  This is absolutely the case when we drop our rates for calls.  We might get more calls but the caliber of our clients suffers.  I believe in charging to get the more prestigious customer.  I admit to that because once you lower your standards your business suffers.  I do a lot in the real world for people already but from now on business is business period.

Don't let my kindness be mistaken for weakness.  No more favors, if anyone needs a freebie- I have some nice ones posted.  I've also decided to code a few, I know it's tough starting out but don't bite the hand that is trying to feed you.

I appreciate the ladies that visit my blog, and would love to see my templates in action, so link me up!  There will be more to come!  Let me know what you think & leave comments. I'd love my blog to be more interactive.

My big plans: A personal blog

Some of my friends know this already, but soon I will be heading up a non-profit.  We will be taking Shelter Dogs and turning them into Service Dogs for our Soldiers who have come home with PTSD.  We are also hoping to train and place 40-50 Therapy dogs (also shelter dogs) a year.

I'm really looking forward to this venture and once I finish up my Physical Therapy I'll be headed to Texas.  It has taken a little longer than I had hoped but my friend Amy is being VERY patient.  Her Fiance' is the first to get a dog trained.  I will also be working two other dogs along with Cali our new Trainer in training.  Lots of time on my feet playing with puppies!  What is it they say, do something you love and it does;t feel like work at all.  Wish me luck!

So basically every dime I make is going to fund my venture- also we will be providing puppy obedience classes as well. I have dreamed of this for years it's going to be awesome to see it come into action!
