Wally, keep up the enthusiasm! One thing that I would try to guard against is growing too fast. Even if there is a market for growth in your area, if you do not control it it make wipe you out. The most important part of the game is quality control and customer service, if your quality slips or you get a reputation for less than par, you can not regain the confidence of your market, or at least it is very hard.

So, I would take baby steps for a couple years, get a reputation for solid work and positive customer satisfaction then I would look to growth potential. In the mean time, book jobs but do them to 120% of your potential, you usually get only one change and word of mouth in this business if 9/10ths of the law. . .

Good luck and welcome!
