    Woman Quits the Corporate Scene Twice to Enjoy Success with Kwik Kerb
    By Home Business Magazine

    Adele Horton has a unique story to tell. She and her husband Rob started a Kwik Kerb business from scratch and successfully operated it for four years before deciding to sell out in 2006 and take lucrative job offers.

    Since that time, Adele has gone full circle and quit the corporate scene again to begin her second Kwik Kerb business in partnership with her teenage son, Gilles.

    Adele originally had a 15-year career in advertising sale, but she had become disillusioned with the job. “I wanted more control over my own future, and my job meant that I was being controlled by someone else and their time-table,” says Adele.

    “We had seen Kwik Kerb advertised in a magazine in 2002, and it seemed like a rewarding business so we gave it a go. We had immediate success and we were pleasantly surprised to discover Kwik Kerb was not only very profitable but it gave us a unique sense of daily gratification we had never experienced. Every day our clients were just thrilled with what we did for them,” Adele enthused.

    Kwik Kerb is a franchise-style business opportunity expanding throughout USA and Canada. Continuous concrete landscape edging is extruded on-site by a nifty little machine. Residential home owners have the curbing installed around their garden beds, along pathways, and as a liner for driveways. Kwik Kerb operators offer home owners a variety of different finishes and textures so the concrete curb looks more like brick, stone, or wood — rather than concrete.

    Adele was amazed at how quickly the Kwik Kerb business grew. “I originally did my parents home for practice, and I was never without a job from that day forward,” says Adele. “Kwik Kerb simply has a great marketing system, and we benefited from that. I knew that if I worked really hard, I would be rewarded.”

    After being approached to sell the business in 2006, Adele cashed in and took a new position at the local newspaper in ad sales again. “Going back to the old job really inspired me to quit work again ASAP,” says Adele. “I wanted to give Gilles an opportunity, so I started my second Kwik Kerb business this year. I couldn’t be happier.” Adele expects to be earning $200,000 per year working three days per week by 2011. To learn more, go to www.kwikkerb.com. HBM
