Rants of A Coyote

It has been a great last two years at my Retail office in Newberg. However, I just have not been there enough to warrant keeping it.

For those of you that have been out of the loop or just do not know: I have had a office in Newberg for the last two years where I ran Quixjote's Computers and Services. QC&S is still in operation, but just not from that location anymore. Over the last 3 or 4 months I have only been at my office enough time to collect bills, pay bills and collect payments that have been mailed in.

The plan now is to run my business from my house in Newberg Oregon (Also where all of the legal aspects of my Business are tied to anyways, just have to update this years City of Newberg business registration to reflect the change). I still do web application development, but as my business morphs over time, I see myself doing less of it.

As many of you know (or didn't know, although I am not sure how with all the blurbs that I have made over the last year), I have been working with Darren and James on a Lawn Care business. With this, we have been very fortunate so far. We have a few profitable contracts and are actively looking to extend the business for lawn care. In a couple years we have talked about expanding, taking the courses required and getting the licensing necessary to go more into landscaping instead of just lawn care.

Anyway, back to the plan; As I mentioned, I see myself doing less programming over time, expanding a bit away from the "Computers" portion of Quixjote's Computers and Services to just be "Quixjote's Services". Basically being the administration aspect to many small "start-ups", like I am with the lawn care portion of my business. This will allow others on a small scale to build their business under the Quixjote's Services name, and then when they have a solid foothold in their market they can grow apart from Quixjote's Services, either paying a flat "finders fee" one-time, or a percentage of their business for "X" amount of time.

Moving out of the office right now is the best thing that could have happened, because I will be able to focus on building my business in the ways that it NEEDS to grow, and not have to worry about the extra expense that it incurred while I was at the office.
