    I think he is the smartest person I have ever met. (literally) He not only has the confidence he has the smarts. He is like the chess player that knows he is 12 moves away from winning.. Most people only see the move in front of them. Most young entre's only see one or two moves ahead. Older...

    Do you have a business card? No, I'm all out.

    20 years of being in business for myself, I have never had a business card until this year. Never needed one before, now I only give it out to people that just need my info as an easy way for them to get in touch with me. Never to a salesman. Richest guy I know personally and call a friend...

    Things with the employees are going well now. Still same two new hires, one gets fired, or quits. but I am very proud of the team we have put together and can see a really fast growth curve coming on. The best part is that I am out of the loop on all of that now. Sales are becoming easier, as...

    How do I reach the top? The head honcho?

    And/or you can call and tell whoever answers the phone that you are a huge shareholder and you do not understand why the ______ does not want to talk to you and how that does not seem right to you. Trust me you can get someone on the phone with that approach.

    Stop and move on or take on the competition?

    Stop and move on or take on the competition?

    Yea, if I remember correctly. This was before the turn of the century. $40 to $50 a spray and with an upsale to a quarterly contract. I think our sale started at 39.95 spring special. A lot of people say that.. I should write a book and then everyone should do the exact opposite. Thanks...

    Stop and move on or take on the competition?

    No the competition had nothing to do with it. The fact that within a few months, we grew to doing 30-50 deals a day shows how week the competition was. I lost 100 bucks a day because I never took the time to learn the business. I closed the business because at that time I was grossing...
