It's a struggle

       Bootstrapping a business has been one of the toughest things I have ever done. When we ordered the first batch of boards we did not expect it to take as long as it did for them to come in. They were suppose to be here in two weeks but they came in two months. They are finally here and they feel great to ride. While waiting for the boards we began to focus our attention on fixing the website and developing relationships with wholesalers. Thanks to our new partner company, COMV, we have an amazing site. They saw the potential our company has and signed an agreement to take care of our marketing and web presence for a small percent of our sales. You can see our website at Mojodecks.com
      When I started to look into getting our wheels and trucks at wholesale prices, I realized how important it is to get the comapny registered. So we finished getting that taken care of, but now we have less money to work with. Luckly we had two sales recently that payed for the licensing, trucks and wheels for a few of the boards.
     Our next step to focus on is creating a kickstarter video. We hope to build enough funds to pay for the shipments of the rest of the trucks and wheels and a CNC machine to make the production of the boards easier for our manufacturers.
