Reminding yourself of the "Original" answer to this question could refresh your business vision and inspire you to continued greatness, no matter what the economy does.

It doesn’t matter if you run a lemonade stand or build houses, did you have an original idea or did you want to improve on something you had experienced? Everyone has a story and we want to hear yours!

Our family discussions at the dinner table were about customers, shipments, alterations, sales and the new dress ties that just arrived.  After school when most kids were walking home, I walked to the store.  Being the youngest of four boys I would get the clean-up jobs in our family business; dusting, empting the trash, restack the dress shirts and vacuuming a half of block of carpet.  I learned to “make change” and count money back to costumers at age eight. I wasn’t allowed to sell suits until I was sixteen but I sold plenty of shirts, ties and slacks before then.

I was amazed with how my brother would do the window displays, my dad would alter a pair of slacks while the costumer would wait, my mom always had a pencil in her hair while cranking rolls of white adding machine tape to the floor and how people would keep coming in the front door and spend money.  Today I am more intrigued with business than ever and this web site EnumclawBusiness.com is a testimony of the “business fever” I was blessed with over 40 years ago.  When I moved to Enumclaw it was just natural for me to befriend many business people and become part of the business community.
