Hey!
It is 10:32 PM. This morning at just after noon I picked up a check for 90% of the contract amount for my first arbor project. I finally came to terms with my son-in-law by cutting my price in half. It will enable me to a.) Refine my design, and the manufacturing/assembly process; b.) Have a project to show others for marketing purposes; and c.) Acquire some of the tools I will need to do future projects.
So, on the final day of the 18th week, I finally got a project. I believe this is the beginning of something very big. I believe this will allow me to begin the process that will culminate in the manufacturing and marketing of The Jewel. Everything I will do will be based on component systems that can be manufactured and assembled with maximum efficiency, and minimum cost. If the cost is right, there will be plenty of work. If the process is efficient, there can be plenty of profit, so long as I am wise in the expenditure of funds.
I will be prayerful and thoughtful as I work each day to build this business. I am grateful for the opportunity that I have to show what I can do. It has been a long time coming; and I don't just mean these past 18 weeks. I mean these past 39 years! In the end, of course, the effort and the time will have been worth it. I have had many lessons to learn - as I will have many more going forward. This, however, has been a definite milestone in my life.
Today, Millennium - The Master Builder, a subsidiary of Millennium - The Architecture Company, is born.

PS. This entire past week has consisted of me seeking to negotiate and close this deal. Today, it finally happened, although yesterday we basically reached the agreement. Today it was consummated.
