America- The Land of Opportunity

If any of you out there have a dream of starting your own business, I want to encourage you to go for it.  Eight years ago, I went to the County office and filed a fictitious name application, and opened a commercial bank account with $200 in it.  This was the official launch of Kuffel Creek, and I felt silly calling it a company, as the only thing I had was a file on the computer and an empty website.  Our capital consisted of a used file cabinet, a computer (that I had no idea how to operate), and a couple of Rubbermaid drawers.

Since then, we've expanded our products, put most of the money back into the business, and determined that product excellence and customer service would be a hallmark of our company.  We have been rewarded with increasing sales and customer loyalty.  The business has supported itself, and I have not had to put any more "seed" money into it since that $200 (not always the case when starting a business!).  

Not that there have not been some scary moments.  When we first decided to advertise nationally, the first ad cost as much as our house payment.  One or two months without any orders would have wiped out our meager bank account.  But people responded with curiosity, then interest, and finally orders.  

I thank God that we live in a country where this is possible, and I want to encourage you that if we can do it, you can do it.  But the motivation must come from you.  It would have been easy to get discouraged, to give up, or not even take that first step.  But the rewards are great. 

 Sometimes before I make a bank deposit, I look at the addresses on the checks people sent from all over the country, even foreign countries.  Every one of them is someone who is willing to give their hard-earned money for our plans.  Some will send photos of their completed trailer and tell us how much they liked our plans and how happy they are with their trailer, and the new friends they've met at campouts and gatherings.  

It is rare that you have the chance to have the best in the world of anything, but we strive the publish the best plans and books.  And I know there are those of you out there that have a unique ability, to find some niche market, and produce the best of something, even the best in the world.  That's what's made America the best country in the world, it's citizens working and having the freedom to be the best.
