The complaint below is from me and I did not rate them as 5 star in fact I rate them 0. I also forgot to mention that they had all Mexican workers who spoke no English and I told owner Shane Smalley not to keep back yard gate open as Jack Russel will get out and probably get hit by a car and sure enough when I got home, no workers,, both gates open and dog in hospital unconscious (hit by car per neighbor) I have no legal recourse b/c they only warranty 2yr workmanship. which they did not explain. I don't even know where the roof was purchased to see if there is a defect also in the materials. . I also ended up in hospital due to trying to place a tarp over leak and fell of the roof. Hospital bill and cost of repair is approx 3800 dollars. "RIPOFF" Incompetent Mexican workers make him rich and customers unhappy and in debt. ...read more

They deleted my post from facebook, which is understandable. I wouldn't want negative feedback on my page as well. My first experience with the hair salon was five stars***** across the board. I was very happy, so I scheduled a second apt. with Hedricks. I received a call stating my stylist was out on the day of my apt. That I would need to reschedule. Not a problem, Was very happy with their service I did such that. Rescheduled. Went to my apt. Business locked up. No note no people nothing. I waited 45 min. Giving them a time span of perhaps an emergency. No such thing, Not even a call to apologize or explanation. This is very poor, unprofessional business. Shows me they have no value for their customers as well as explains why there is never any vehicles in their parking lot. I gave them two stars only because I had a very favorable experience my first time. Have a blessed day, wish everyone the best of luck. Ms. Bush ...read more
Businesses live and die by numbers. Numbers are pulling family budgets apart. So what number is the mostdangerousnumber to family budget and is death to any business? The numberOne. What do I mean? Well, nothing can hurt you MORE than relying ononeof anything. For example,Onejob. Oneincome stream. Onecustomer that makes up most your sales. And so on, and so forth. TakeOnejob, for instance. If you only have a job to support youand your family and no other way of bringing home the bacon, andthat job is yanked out from under you, you're toast. This is especially if you're a single parentor if either the wife or husband is the only one working. What happens when thatOnestream of income is lost? OneisDANGEROUS. This is why having ahome businessis so important. Especially today. You have more control, it is our business. The economy goes up and down like a roller coaster. If you think a job is truly "secure", think again. Unfortunately, people are still programmed to think they havesecurity if they have a "good job" when nothing could be furtherfrom the truth. If you rely on a job and lose it, your income is gone. Your family is vulnerable. If you rely on a job and your company cuts your hours what will you do to cover expenses? You will be forced to do whatever comes your way. Usually something youHATEdoing. And most of the time you will take a cut in pay or have to start at the bottom again..But...If you have a job AND are working a business on the side, you're not vulnerable.Multiple stream of incomewill help you to help weather the storm.Home based businessesgive you control of hours and effort you put into it. You will never be surprised by a lay off or cut in hours.(or just take it full time and not even worry about a job).Bottom line? Oneis the mostdangerousnumber. This is especially true in business. If you rely on one of anything, you're in trouble. So consider starting yourhome business. Do your research. Find a business you believe in and that will fit your lifestyle and you will find financial security. Never have to worry about a lay-off, down sizing or starting over.

I would love the opportunity to work with you. ...read more

Hello, My name is Deborah Mitchell I am a resident of the greatest town this side of Florida.I have been a resident in the Lake Region area for the past 14 years and I certainly have no plans to ever leave, EXCEPT the long vacations that I plan to take upon my retirement from the State of Florida ( in about 3 more years!)... In the meantime I am building clients for my travel agency. Why you may ask did I decide to start such a business in the travel industry? especially when money seems to be a problem to most families today. Well, I have found that no matter how bad things get that when there is something that we really want to do that we will figure out a way to accomplish it. And to help in particular those of us who are pinching pennies my goal is to show you how you can take a economical vacation that you may have felt that only the wealthy can afford. Yes, I can aid you in obtaining a cruise vacation for as little as $100 a nite per person and sometimes less, and the best part is that you can make a deposit and make payments until your vacation is paid in full. For the experienced Cruisers, you may ask why should you let me book your cruise? well, I can give you that special attention that you wont get with online booking or with storefront agencies, I need your business and I will put forth the effort to give you not just a good deal but I want to see that you have a memorable vacation.I also specialize in group vacations. Just let me know what you'd like or think you'd like and together we'll work up the vacation that will leave you with a lifetime of great memories. ...read more

I have been a Stay at home since May of 2009.WOW! Time sure does fly by. Many of my friend often say " I wish I could stay home with my kids too." I count my blessings every time. What many of them don't realize is that they could be a stay at home mom too! So why don't they? I think a lot of reason is because society tell us we have to work to earn that extra paycheck each week. Here are some statics. In 2009, women made up 46.7% of the labor force and 51.4% of management, professional and related positions. In 2009, 59.2% of all women 16 years and over were in the labor force, compared to 72.0% of all men. 56.4% of all mothers with children under 1 were in the labor force. Resource: Current Population Survey, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employment Characteristics of Families, 2008-2009 Annual Averages (2010). Still, not all moms are choosing the workforce. So why are some moms still choosing to stay home? The truth is all moms are working moms. Some moms are capable of working a full time career and their families needs with the help of the spouse. Many other moms have flexible hours that allow them to work around children school hours. Some have a built a thriving home based business and still other decide to focus all their energies on their home and family. The challenge is not to sell yourself short and determine what is the best situation for your family. We all know the benefits of receiving that paycheck at the end of the week BUT that is not always the best option. Let's take a look at what that paycheck is really worth. Second Salary $15,00.00 $30,000 $45,000 Giving 1,500 3,000 4,500 Federal Tax 4,200 8,400 12,600 State Tax 750 1,500 2,250 FICA 1,148 2,295 3,443 Child Care 9,600 9,600 9,600 Transportation 1,200 12,00 1,200 Meals 1,000 1,000 1,000 Extra Cloths/ Dry Cleaning 600 600 600 miscellaneous B'day gifts, ect.. 600 600 600 Work related expense totals 20,592 28,195 35,793 Salary minus expenses -5,598 1,805 9207 Plus child credit 2,592 1,920 1,920 Net income -3006 3,725 11,127 Net hourly rate None $1.79 $5.35 This chart is just a guide. Some people don't tithe or give. This is also based on 2 children with daycare at $400.00 per month. That was the cost the last summer my son was in day care. Meals allowed $20.00 per week 50 weeks. This also allowed $50.00 per month for cloths and dry cleaning. Transportation was only $100.00 per month. That is what my husband is spending perweeknow. Miscellaneous is for personal grooming, employee birthdays and convenience foods( girl scout cookies) ect… Check this comment I found onTip hero-website from a women who now stays at home. Posted byHeather Won December 22, 2010 1:15 PM I'm doing anything and everything I can, after having lost my job 3 months ago. We've stopped shopping at Wal-Mart because after much research and comparison shopping, we've learned they are a rip-off. Aldi and other local grocery stores are much better and carry what you need, not all the impulse stuff! I use gasbuddy.com to make sure we're paying less for gas, and we've stopped eating out completely – cooking all meals at home. We haven't eaten beef or pork in 2 years since my husband was diagnosed and survived bladder cancer. We've always been big chicken, turkey, and seafood eaters, but I like the idea of trying to do some meatless days! I'm preparing to start a garden in the spring too! We've cut back on the use of all utilities and canceled things we really don't need like Netflix; we've also switched from Satellite to Cable and we record movies for free now. We've managed to cut >$1100/mo from our expenses which is great but also makes me mad that we were wasting so much before…oh well, can't hang on to the past. Thanks for all the comments, they were helpful and they remind me to do everything I can!******* That is a lot of cutting back but it can be done. I have made some small changes myself that have made a big difference. Since I have been at home I have also found several ways to cut corners. For example I hang my cloths on the line. We all eat home cooked meals at the table again and I even started a garden! I can't wait to plant a summer crop! I have gone over our bills to make sure there is no unnecessary spending. I have actually caught several mistakes made by companies that I would not normally have seen. I still get up at 5:30 every morning and go to sleep at 11:00 but my day is full of what is important to me . I have found a home based business that enjoy building around my families schedule. My business fits into my lifestyle and beliefs . It allows me to earn while I learn from home. Each morning I wake my son up. He starts my day with the best hugs EVER. When I take him to school and do not have to worry about who will be watching him when school is out. I am able to be here for him when he is sick or take him to school activities , field trips. I am also able to help my husband out with taking his mom to hair or doctor appointments. What I really enjoy the most is being home to watch my children and grandchildren grow. No more asking for holidays or sick days, No more missing birthdays or field trips, No more telling my son he can't join a sport because I have to work and can't take him to practice. I am getting closer to that perfect balance everyday.The truth about stay at home momsis we know what works for us. It is not always that end of the week paycheck that is important. Some times a check is just is not enough! ...read more
