@Greenman You forgot the hot toddy. Without that in the equation @Hotshot is out.
Lol, we can do that as well! Almost positive Iāve got a jar of home brew floating around here just waiting on the right occasion! And if we cant finish it , why could be he can down stream it on especially dirty trucks!
Youāre not the only one, Max. I know Iāve stepped over the line here a time or two and for that I apologize. Iām a hot head. Iām opinionated. Iām brash and I have hard time keeping my mouth shut when I see something I donāt agree with. That being said, Iāve put some thought into it and I donāt think I offer as much help here as I do distract others that are trying to learn. Iāve learned a ton on this forum and Iām forever grateful to each and every person that had helped me along the way. Sincerely.
Now, with that being said, Iāve decided that Iām going to take Rickās advice and focus more on my business and even more on myself as an individual. Iāll be taking a hiatus from the forum and hopefully Iāll return someday as a better business owner and person. Anybody that would like to keep in touch please feel free to PM me and Iād be glad to exchange phone numbers. Again, thanks for all of the help guys and gals. Yāall rock.
Catch ya on the flip side, amigos!
Iāll send you taco pics. I love those things
@DisplacedTexan Donāt stay away, too long!
And at least drop us a line every once in awhile.
I had originally put this in the wrong thread.
Thank You @Racer for planting that seed of kindness.(Look at what you started and how the direction of the conversation has changed) I have gained a lot of info on this site as well as some great advice.Thank you again @Racer for flipping the script from a negative to a positive conversation. Joy and success to all.
@Racerās right about wasting time here and on FB. Spent just 15 mins the other day following up with property managers that I shouldāve followed up with a lot sooner. As a result, Iāve got about $15k in estimates going out this week. Most just for one PM company. Down time is a great time to go after pmās! Try this, instead of getting sucked into fb posts and forum debates, Google NARPM. Click the āfind a property mangerā tab. Put in whatever mile radius you want, and prepare to be amazed at the absolute gold mine of free info for almost every property manager in your area. More than you could scrape doing a google search for pmās and pulling info off websites. Then either pick up the phone, send a post card, or shoot an email. My eyes got opened to how much time was wasted on Facebook when I set a stop watch for time between sets while working out, then checked out fb for a sec, and next thing you know, itās been 5 mins. Felt like 30 secs.
With that being said, donāt let your business consume you. Thers nothing wrong with switching āoffā business related computer time or doing other hobbies to just get a bit of normality in life. Itās perfectly normal. After all we are in business to be our own boss and earn a good living. Dictate your own pace, growth happens naturally. I havenāt spent a buck in marketing in over 5 years Iām happy with the size of my business and the returns I get, anymore will just mean more staff and more headaches.
Good stuff Jacob. This is one of those little pearls of knowledge that can be life changing. Even if youāre not ready now, bookmark this post for the future.
