One of my biggest faults is that I’m impatient. Really. I hate to wait for anything. When I was married (a long time ago) my husband and I had just moved into the house we had bought together. . .
The flash intro on my website; Maria Killam Colour & Design
We sat down on the sofa after all the furniture had been moved into the house and for the first time I really noticed the ugly 70’s drapes so I immediately jumped up to take them down! My husband asked “Do you have to do everything right now?”.
So in case you didn’t know prior to reading this, I am a ‘not-now-but-right-now’ kind of person (which, by the way, does not mean I don't procrastinate on the stuff I don't like doing). I don’t like waiting (well who does) and the suppliers and professionals that I choose to work with are the ones that actually answer the phone (not automated voice mail) when I call, or they call me back fast, or they give me the answer I’m looking for--right away.
That’s it, it’s the way I do business with my clients and I expect the same from people that work with me on projects as well. Right Now – really works for me, ( I’m not really a control freak am I?). Quotes on product that take days or a full week to get back to me? I don’t last long with those companies.
The first graphic designer that I hired to design my logo and website was based out of New York (I met her in a course and watched her design a very cool logo in 5 minutes, so I hired her). After 2 months and just a logo design (no website design) I was on the phone with a graphic designer I knew that was one of my Facebook friends.
He told me what to do to get out of that predicament and designed my entire website in 2 weeks and I was very happy!
