Let me help!

I'm pretty good at what I do and I do lots of things when it comes to design. I can organize spaces, pick colors, remove walls and replace them with interesting architectural features. I can pick plants that meet multiple needs and look great. I can tell you what kind of grass is best for your lighting situation. And to a point I can tell you how much it will cost. I just have to find a way to let people know how I can help them.
The best part of my job is giving people what they want in a way that gives them more than they asked for. I love my job. I really like to work because when one does what they love it doesn't seem like work. I know I could benefit both individual clients and installers and builders, as they benefit what I do. I just haven't figured out how to show them how much I can help them. That is the frustration of my work. I have no doubt that soon I will have more work than I can handle but now I see installers (one in particular) who is completely overwhelmed and I know I can help make his load more bearable but he is too busy to see me even though I am certain he wants to meet.
Surrounding oneself with competent people is one major key to building a successful business. I am always looking for subcontractors with the same work ethic as I have. One day in the near future some of these very people will see the benefit of working with me as many have before. Working with good people makes work a joy.and I plan on being exceedingly blessed in that area.
