For newbies and veterans alike the Albany Seminar coming up this week http://www.pwseminar.com/ is going to be another good one. I love these events because I network with these guys and I just soak up all the info that comes out of these events. Jack and Matt along with Mary Johnson do a real nice job with there events. Its like going to a Convention because of how well they organized it.

I would reccommend these type events to anyone in this industry because of the connections alone that you can make. Because of getting to Know Carlos in the past from phone calls and meeting him in person you just never know how these conections work out. Thru him a newbie contacted me and I got a cool job out of it and in turn I hooked up this new guy with what he was searching for on the net.

That was a quick 18 grand that my company made.... and it all stems from going to these places and meeting with your fellow powerwashers. If I cant get this story together for someone soon I'll put it out on the net.

Because of the way we got started this year with a few surprises such as the above my business got over loaded with work. Between this parking garage that is coming up that came out of a deadline that will be missed(I love these type jobs because I can name my price), Our Residential customers calling us and wanting everything done before Easter, and the strip Malls we are supposed to do.... I am happy about all that. On top of that I am very excited about the PWNA committee work that where getting done. Also in two weeks I'm helping my brother inlaw promote a charity event that is going to be wild. I love being busy.

The sad thing here is that because of this sudden overload Kathy and I can't make the Albany Event. We missed the ACR event for the same reasons. I miss seeing the people I became friends with and the comraderie and just the all around excitement that goes on at these events. I really cherish these and I'm going to make it a promise down the road to slow it all down so I can do things I enjoy the most... Like Making these events and learning and networking and seeing old and new pals and listening to the stories about there businesses and how there doing.

I feel rotten for saying I was going to the Albany Seminar and the last minute I had to bail. I talked to Jack about it tonight and the last thing I would ever want is my money back under these circumstances. Jack,Matt, Mary, the sponsors etc. have worked hard to put on another good show.

I would highly reccommend this event to any and all in this industry.

Also if there are two people that really wanted to go but it just wasnt in there budget this year because of anytype of hardship or your just running into tough luck Jack said it would be OK that I could donate my tickets to you thru Jack.
You wont regret it. If your interested call Jack after 10 am tomorrow. Your name can remain anonymous and you don't have to think you have to thank me because you don't. Thank them because there allowing this and there the ones who put this all together.

If Jack gets a few calls on this he will have a tough decision. You want to be creative here then cut in a buddy and his wife or partner and cut them in also where you split there cost so it only cost the 4 of you half price..

Either way don't let these tickets go to waste and like I said I would not even let Jack, Matt or Mary think they would have to reimburse me because for a few reasons I am very thankful of them for all they do.

Enjoy.
 
Thanks Doug. Jack offered to give out my tickets which was a nice thing to do and I have him Matt and Mary to thank for that. This positive stuff has a way of rubbing off of each other. Best way to get things done.
Look at you and me, where being positive towards each other..lol You guys may be off doing great things within the inustry. Its all good. Thanks
 
So, it is okay for John to cancel going to two events near his home, but Tony can't cancel one event that is a four hour plane flight away from his home? Hypocritical much?
 
Lol. That's funny. Guess some people have a hard time remembering what they do AND say.

I think I have it all figured out. John keeps referring to "the net" as if it's some kind of matrix or some fantasy land.

To me, the "net" is a place where you can communicate with others and exchange information. To a normal person it's not much different from simply having a conversation on the phone, or across the table.

But to the mentally unstable and the dishonest its a place where one can live out their fantasies about what they would like to be in real life, but can't ever seem to accomplish.

For some, that means a 45 year old man sitting at his house in his underwear pretending to be "Kristy" a 15 year old blonde.

For others it's the faraway land where one can be a celebrity and present "awards" to people who they think are deserving in their own little world, and take awards away from anyone who tries to wake them up out of their fantasy land.

For others it means they can play the entrepreneur. They can buy and sell equipment with the proceeds of their union negotiated inflated wages. Once they've taken equipment off the backs of real entrepreneurs who have taken their lives in their own hands and failed financially they begin to think that they
too, have what it takes to be businessmen and set out to convince everyone in this fantasy land, the "net", that they "belong" right alongside the entrepreneurs who put it all on the line. All the while collecting that government paycheck because they were too afraid at a younger age to step out and do what most of the others in the business have done.

To others the "net" is the place where they can lie without consequences. The "net" is a busy place. The mentally and morally deficient residents of the "net" have an attention span shorter than that of a cocker spaniel. With that kind of atmosphere it's easy to lie and deceive, then just bail out for a few weeks or months then come back and it's all forgotten. This happens over and over again.

But to normal people with normal businesses, normal consciences and normal lives the "net" is just another form of communication where they can express themselves and remain true to who they are. These normal people are pretty easy to pick out. They don't mind being quoted from somewhere else on the "net" or from texts or recorded conversations because they remain steadfastly the same wherever they are and whenever they communicate.

Normal people don't mind travelling all over and meeting new people because they won't have to prove claims they have made on the "net".

Normal people don't have to blog countless pages about themselves to convince others they are "experts" in this or that. Experts are recognized by their peers, not promoted by themselves.

A normal person doesn't have to block others on facebook to facilitate lying without opposition.

A normal person doesn't have to block people with differences of opinion from viewing forums so they can get away with psychotic backroom talk about "threats" or "80 texts" without fear of someone who knows the truth of exposing them as a liar.

A normal person couldn't possibly call around begging for real contractors to help keep him afloat during the by selling an SEO help to make ends meet. If they were such an SEO expert would they really have time to sell SEO to others? Wouldn't they be busy keeping up with their own work they have gotten by being the SEO master they claim to be?

This is the crazy world of "the net".

It's where John and many others live.

I guess I'm kindof glad it's out there. The government cut off funding for places that used to take care of personalities like this, so I guess they have to be somewhere. The safety of their own home is as good of a place as any.
 
So true guys, so true! hahahahaha
 
In addition to what Tony said,
On the 'Net, a guy can talk about how busy he is, with so many crews, and in multiple large states, and then try and sell his business and admit that his gross is $140,000 a year, and nets $45,000 a year

On the 'Net, a guy can get proclaimed and environmental and parking garage expert, when in reality he has only ever cleaned one parking garage, that no one ever parks in.
 
Or I forgot,

Come to a state foreign to you, meet with Environmental regulators, Threaten someones business, and then be exonerated.

Or Delve into someones business, find a report (That is open to the public) that is negative, and automatically assume that a contractor is going to fail, because of what the report said. Never mind that the truth was that all of the problems were the customers fault because they supplied bad information. Then send a mass email trying to sully someones reputation.

Or, Go to environmental authorities in a state foreign to you, claim to represent a company, and attempt to cause problems. (BTW, they failed)

Or post a picture of a famous baseball player that was snapped through the open door of his suite and claim he was a guest at one of your previous "events" that really only has one other contractor in attendance.

What an amazing world that can be created within an idle and empty mind.

Or say that I was hand picked by Ron to be his VP when in fact I originally was just going to run for BOD but then I asked Ron to be his VP, yes he had someone else chosen, we discussed for awhile, thought about, I asked some more (begged), I really wanted to be his right hand man, side kick, minion, trojan horse, whatever else it's called, cause I figured what better way to learn from the best than to sit right next to him, and he finally relented......and I am glad I did, and YES I have learned a TON....and am still proud to serve alongside him as well as the other BOD. What a great group of MEN to serve with.

Or say that the upcoming New Jersey event was planned by Ron to interfere with some other event when Ron had nothing to do with even the idea of it. Colm (who had been after us to do a UAMCC event at his place,) and I came up with it in Orlando at Softwashapoolza, went to AC to get him on board, and then we went to Ron, to see if the date would work for him. I actually chose the date, because I did not want it to be during any part of Easter week. It wasn't till I got back from Orlando, and mentioned to my wife I was going to New Jersey March 22 23, that she informed me that there was a Cinderella Ball/Daddy Daughter dance at the church the evening of March 22nd, to which I replied "well I guess I ain't going to New Jersey then cause I am not missing a Daddy Daughter Dance.

Hard to decide what's funnier, the made up stuff or just the stuff he tries to Spin.
 
Remember Doug - you can't fix stupid! Obviously John and the others who chimed in with him have never heard of the concept of sarcasm. On the other hand you just showed them up for what they really are. Well done ;)
 
Come on Pat. You can't see the hook real good w a Net. Plus a net is just for keepers.
