    Haha good story @Johnny boy thank you for sharing. Im not doing lawn care though. People here just don’t know this service even exists. There are companies that are doing well doing this. How do I know this? I’ve called them to try and set up appointments to figure out what their prices are and...

    @RazorCut good stuff there. Now that I think about it, I occasionally get a magnet stuck on my mailbox from a local pizza place. I run a lot, so here’s my idea that I should try....get a ton of magnets made for the business and stuff them in my camelback that I wear when I run like 8 miles or...

    Thanks for all the great responses @minivanman @Andy Black @ZCP I love this place. It's actually not a small town. Like 1.2 million people in the area, so I fully plan on being copied but not copied by someone like me. I read Traction like a year ago and definitely need to revisit it now...

    Was waiting for a comment like this. All I'll say is.. I personally believe there is a need for the service and am willing to go for it and find out what the market thinks. There are a lot of companies in other states doing this and a couple of national franchises doing it actually. But there is...

    Thanks for the idea. I will have the margins to be able to do something along those lines and will definitely try it. I just wonder how to implement it into Zenbooker, since I will probably be using that for online booking and payment. So I wonder if/how I will be able to track referral codes...

    I don't expect much attention on this thread, but wanted to start it as my progress thread and also a way for all the local service guys on here to brainstorm and share ideas with each other for best marketing, software, hiring, and customer service practices. I am launching my business in the...

    So I have a few questions that I think @biophase @amp0193 @AgainstAllOdds @Walter Hay @Vigilante and I'm sure many others could help with. But, I first want to say a huge thanks to the people I just listed and many others for all the value you've provided here. I am thinking about creating a...

    Start with Why by Simon Sinek and How to find your Why!

    I love both of Simon Sinek's books as well. I read them a while ago but wouldn't mind revisiting Find Your Why, because I didn't really do the exercises like I was supposed to. MJ's books are definitely my favorites, but you can't really compare them with Simon's. I think you have to find your...

    What if I found the Bill of Lading on panjiva or portexaminer and saw the name of their manufacturer but the manufacturer doesn't advertise the products I'm looking for. Should I ask to see their catalog or ask specifically for those items?

    Both books were great. Great resources to have especially for someone that doesn't know much about manufacturing or importing. It's nice to have all that information in one place from someone with a ton of experience. Thanks @Walter Hay

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    I'm sorry if this has already been answered (there's a lot of GOLD threads to get through). If a medium to big sized company is selling a product that I want to improve and sell with my label, should I do some digging and try to find their manufacturer for that product? Or will they most likely...
