    Back on topic, the Facebook ad got me another hit aswell. This guy was a guy I tried to get in with a couple years ago when I first started out, and it never went anywhere, probably because I had no references or proof etc. Which I have in spades now! He's a fairly big developer locally so...

    That's awesome... I'm sure you'll get some folks.. If you don't mind me asking how does bookkeeping tax preparing work? Is it a monthly service or more like a quarterly/ yearly thing etc. I'm in the process of getting my gc license and forming an LLC, did 300,000 last year and it's time to...

    Though I have plenty of work lined up, the weather locally has put me in a holding pattern due to Local Masons not being able to work in freezing and or rainy conditions.. When Masons can't get the foundations in, it puts every other tradesman behind schedule. Though I keep a little extra funds...

    Is a love relationship a good investment?

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Wow.. assume much? I'm happily married of 17 years and my wife is my best friend. I still believe every man should read that book. It helps to put in perspective the modern expectations of women and men. Nowadays, you got a vast majority of men running around being capt' save a hoes.. and...

    I haven't had my FTE, what should I do?

    MINDSET FTE 
    Force it.... I have FTMoments monthly an FTE won't hit you, until its the very last thing you could want or need to happen... It'll be when your least expecting it at the moment you think shit can't get any worse then whatever is going on then bamm.. It will happen then.. You will not be happy...

    Thank You.. its been two years.

    ha, no doubt brother.. still trying to brush up on the fixed mind set and eventually break away from this, I've got ideas for apps and books, etc. That I think could really help tradesmen. One step at a time though.. thanks!

    Haha, thanks man.. I don't know about that though.. after reading some of the things in here I believe some keyboard knowledge may have served me better than this sore back :):)

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    This book has been played and replayed on so many different occasions in my audible app I couldn't begin to count the number of times, and I could never thank MJ enough... I personally like Unscripted better but That isn't saying much when I have 100s of books in my playlist and rarely listen to...

    I have a business nobody can copy, my product is well made with good price. Help me sell more.

    Who can you help with your business? surely you can think of people, or groups to help and begin helping them right now!!! Begin thinking of multiple ways your product, or service can help others.. If you help me with my issues, I will always look to you when I need something you can provide...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    The rational male, if you're a man and haven't read it, do so now!! Jesus I wish I had that book back when I was 15 or younger.. It's the "millionaire fastlane" of its genre, "self realization/awakening/relationship advice/people skills, etc. Really hard to put that book in a box..

    Thank You.. its been two years.

    I know a lot of you guys are more in line with "Online, marketing, or sales etc." orientated but for me that is super tough for me to get my head wrapped around.. This isn't as Fastlane as you badasses, but it is what I know, Before reading the millionaire Fastlane I was an hourly waged...

    Thank You.. its been two years.

    I'm not good with forums... I made a post 2 years ago about building a tiny house and trying to make a business from it. It would never have worked the way I wanted. Instead I sold that tiny house for enough to buy a beat up work truck and the tools to start my own construction company with...
