I will no longer be in the business, 30 plus years.
Some here say it will not happen. The non-believers, I truly love the mobile cleaning industry. Its been great and I have had a lot of fun.
Its not really a bad thing moving on, I just want to spend time with my smaller kids. I neglected my oldest son, my older daughter also. The Middle Child i did ok, we never can spend enough time with them. I enjoy my life now that I have slowed down. I just think there might be something else out there to do.
Sounds crazy but I have never punched a clock, dont intend to start. I may volinteer my time someplace or get a hobby making something.
Its four year's away, I will turn 50 just after that date.
Something bad would have to happen to keep me around.
NO worries PWI is paid to be online till 2024, after that date I have no further commitments to what PWI will be or become.
The site will never be sold!!! if someone takes the burden of the costs thats up to them to keep it running the way it was created, for the industry.
We all need to stop the contractor for contractor attitude. We need to think about the industry as a whole.
This sites is here for me you and who ever can benifit. Customers, distributors and us. Our attitudes need to change, ourselfish ways need to go by the way side.
If you work hard and get busy each day you will succeed. Nothing about my business was easy, anyone from Darly to Mike H tells you that it was they would be liars. Mirza & Hinderliters worked hard to get what they have. Nelson & Grant also worked hard to achieve the greatness in there business.
Guys like DJ , Steve button , Matt Norman and Even Kory will be the guys in our shoes in only a few years in they keep working hard themselves. (dont be disappointed I didnt mention you, if your working hard you know who you are. We have talked on the phone. KEEP going)
I wrote this to dispell rumors, one thing that doesnt bother much anylonger is rumors. Weak people spread rumors, of yeah and thad does it for fun. Thats ok as long as its fun. I have been accused call and made to be a lot of things I'm certainly not. All of those who know me understand I live large and like to have Fun. I'm offensive harsh and sometimes rude. Sorry that just me being real, real is all I'm about.
I once wanted to be a pro athlete, once!!! I always wanted to start a successful business and I have completed that chapter in my life. If I turned PPW off now and walked away it would run till the industry made major changes. My customers are ROCK SOLID and are loyal. Pricing will always be fair, if your going to ever have loyal customers prices have got to be fair. That might have just been a secret for some of you new guys or even the one line punch standing in front of the prospect you want to land.
My first banker gave me this ADVICE. PAY for everything you can with CASH, build relations close to your customers and try not to have to use the Bank later in your business. Learned the hard way about the cash thing, but stopped all that after the first ten years. Shortly after that I stopped needing the bank. The last 15 years I'm the bank, my assets out way debt margins tremendous. So much even in this down market its scares me how teh ratio is not that bad. I guess its simple when you dont have debt, the market can change around you and the ratio cant change.
I have learned a lot over the years, look forward to spending my last three left here.
If you comment on the thread its not a Goodbye thread, i have three years five months left. Its just a count down!!!
