Norm Huhn- Tool & Die Maker/Manufacturing & Design Engineer
Joy Huhn - Sales/Retail Management
As a newly married couple, we started looking for some kind of business opportunity. Although we enjoyed our careers, we always new that the way to get ahead in life was to own our own business. At the time we weren't exactly sure what type of business venture to pursue . Norm thought about opening a machine shop with several of his brothers, but had seen others head out into similar businesses without any great success. An antique shop was the next venture that we considered, but dismissed the idea shortly thereafter. We both had an interest in jewelry/watchmaking and repair, and were given the opportunity to buy out a well established jeweler, who because of age and health concerns, had decided to retire but wanted to pass along his 'legacy' to someone with a keen interest and love of the field. After long consideration, we thanked the gentleman for his gracious offer, but decided we'd go another direction after we came to the realization that all of the business ventures we had looked at would have required a substantial investment, and they also would have owned US, rather than us owning the business. We were looking for something that had the potential to gain back some of our time, not something that was going to take up more of our already limited time.
When we were first introduced to this business plan, common sense told us that this is where business was headed. We knew it looked like a sound, profitable venture, and the more we researched it, the more we found this opportunity had all of the qualities that were looking for in a business:
- low start-up cost/low overhead
- the ability to gain back time
- profit potential limited only by our vision and willingness to work
- tremendous support.
We were then introduced not only to this business opportunity, but also to a support team through Harteis International. We were impressed by their integrity and their willingness to share their knowledge and experience. With the guidance of Fred and Linda Harteis, and the rest of our support team, our business began to flourish.
Our relationship with Harteis International has been such an exciting and positive experience, allowing us to grow not only our business, but in all areas of our life: personal, family, and spiritual. It was only natural then, that when Harteis International looked toward the future and started moving ahead with current technology, that we continued our business relationship with Harteis as their newest venture, Biznet Productions, was launched. Biznet Productions maintains the same high standards as it looks toward the future, and we feel blessed to be part of the Biznet team. We are excited about the future and the direction our business is headed, as we continue to partner with Fred & Linda Harteis and Biznet Productions.
