Things are going probably as good as they can. The construction company has two projects under construction and about ready to start two more.
The Golf Internet site: Golf206.com
is doing real well and gaining members on a daily basis. To remind you we sell tee times for Golf Courses in Washington state. It is quite an ingenous site and very user friendly. Revenue is growing but weather in WA does slow things down.
Running two full time biz's does have a margin of error. The brain has to be engaged 18 hours a day. The key is to strategize correctly and utilize your skills of delegation. Also... technology plays a crucial role. I live with my Blackberry cell phone that allows me to be connected to my: Email, Database and Cell phone all in one anywhere in the US. this tool has increased my productivity at least two-fold. I also have with me a Toshiba laptop that allows to connect WIFI on the Internet at multiple sites in my town. With these two tools you can do more then you ever thought.

The Breakdown of The business's we are tracking
Currently we are running two full time business and one part time marketing consulting business.
I am a Father of five children with a very busy family life. But, with all the opportunity out there and a time in my life to make some things happen then we are going to go for it.
First business is "Novotny Northwest Homes". A small construction company building 6-10 small residential homes in the Tacoma area. Also expanding into the Peninsula as growth continues to explode in these areas.
I also own an Internet Ecommerce site. I sell Tee Times online for Golf Courses. You could call me the Priceline of Golf. Web Site: www.Golf206.com. It is a great idea and right now I have the best technology for this type of service product.
Lastly, I still consult for companies that specialize in co-marketing their products with charities. I have done this for the last 10 years and it has been fun, but I am wanting to phase out of this to be more directly connected to my income revenue.
The plan is to post 2-5 times a week talking about my week and the lessons I have learned in running these business'. The good, the bad and the ugly. I know I will make mistakes; running two business at once means that my margin on error is higher. But I have a couple of things in my favor. 1. I have passion in what I am doing. I truly am having the time of my life. How lucky I am to have the opportunity to run not one, but two fun exciting companies. 2. Because of my giftings which is connecting people and being a sales person I have lots of ways and lots of people to help me make these companies work. So with that as a rough introduction we will start posting journal entries dealing with running both of these companies.
