In life you need either inspiration or desperation. -Tony Robbins

Hello Everyone,
         I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful Thursday. I sure am, Thank you for wondering. I have really been on the ball lately. I have found inspiration in many things and have gotten a ton of things accomplished these past few days. It maybe due to desperation, because I have been praying for ideas about designs. Ideas are like San Diego weather to me. They come all at once or none at all. In the end I am thankful for whatever ideas I am blessed with.
         We have books and books of designs here at Merlin Embroidery. If you don't like any of those or you want a unique design we have a very skilled graphic designer in house and on call, for all your designing needs. He will work with you to create the perfect design for your project.
         Here at Merlin Embroidery we are dedicated to customer usability. In essence we have cut out all the drama of getting your designs on clothes. We have made the website and set up process as easy as possible for the average embroidery or screen printing customers convenience. If you ever have any questions or comments please feel free to call us at (619) 466-9712 or email us at merlinemb@gmail.com or visit the web page at merlinemb.com.
         We do lots of El Cajon embroidery. As well as Santee, Lakeside, Clairmont, Chula Vista, and National City embroidery. We like to stay motivated here at Merlin Embroidery. Here are a few quotes from brainyquotes.com that helped us, hopefully they will help you too.

Either you run the day or the day runs you. Jim Rohn

Good Afternoon Everyone,
      I hope that everyone had an exciting and extraordinary weekend. I hope your Earth day was one to remember. We always are trying to save the earth here at Merlin Embroidery. It starts with my our earth friendly garments that we promote and recommend to all of our customers and continues everyday when we reuse boxes and recycle all recyclable materials. Embroidery is the most earth friendly type of clothing printing available to date.
      I chose this quote for the title because it reminds me of the Latin phrase Carpe Diem or Seize the day. It is important to make everyday count for something. Make sure that we stop and enjoy the simple pleasures in life, cause you never know when it will be your time. Here are a few more inspirational quotes from brainyquotes.com to help you stay motivated and on the path to success.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.
Thomas Jefferson

Wherever you are - be all there.
Jim Elliot

Who seeks shall find.
Sophocles

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Gordon B. Hinckley

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

Action is the foundational key to all success. -Pablo Picasso

Hello Everyone,
      I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was good. I worked both days. That is a good weekend to me because I would rather be making money instead of spending it. This week I would like to talk about success and what it takes to achieve it.
      You can't just sit around on your butt and wait for success to present it's self to you. You have to go out and hunt it like a cunning, illusive tiger that could turn and bite off your legs at any minute. The trick is, when you feel your tiger biting down on your legs. Slow down, take a minute, step away, and comeback and give it every thing you've got.
     Here at Merlin Embroidery we treat every customer like they have been coming here for twenty years.  Success to us is having excellent product, excellent customer service, and excellent pricing. It has taken nearly ten years to perfect the perfect system of usability for the embroidery or silk screening customer. Come on down today and talk to us about your project, I think you will be surprised how easy it is.
Here are a couple quotes to keep you motivated and on the road to success.

Anthony Stuart:(I.T. Guy, Graphic designer)

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.
David Brinkley

Action is the foundational key to all success.
Pablo Picasso

After I won the Oscar, my salary doubled, my friends tripled, my children became more popular at school, my butcher made a pass at me, and my maid hit me up for a raise.
Shirley Jones

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
Abraham Lincoln

Belief in oneself is one of the most important bricks in building any successful venture.
Lydia M. Child

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.
George Edward Woodberry

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.
Dale Carnegie

Diligence is the mother of good fortune.

We are never content at Merlin Embroidery

Hello Everyone,
      I hope your week is going well. I was thinking about it, and I think we as a human species are never content. This in turn makes us constantly try to improve ourselves and our surroundings. I believe this is a necessary God given attribute to help us survive in this world. If you become content, you become docile and unmotivated. We work to live. If you stop working, and just lay around you will die.
      Now, I'm not saying work your fingers to the bone and never take a break. I'm just saying, try to stay busy, not only will it keep you out of trouble, but it just might keep you alive. Here at Merlin Embroidery we love to stay busy. Not only does it keep us alive, but it makes the time go faster too. We are always kinda busy embroidering, but if there is a lull in the action we begin cleaning. We really don't like cleaning so bring your embroidery or silk screening order in today. We will have it back to you in about 4 days or less. If you need it faster than that, rush service is available. If you opt for that one we will work all night for you and have it ready in the morning.
      Although we joke and have fun, we take our business very seriously. So if you want your embroidery or silk screening job done right the first time, come to Merlin Embroidery. We are in La Mesa across from CostCo. Here are a couple quotes to keep you from becoming content then dying.
