What is your Biggest Hurdle in your Business today?

We are new so right now it is all about getting work. We are doing well with residential work but we could use some coaching on landing commercial accounts. Overall I am happy with our progress but in no way am I content.

Dj has some real Basic structure of Sales, I like the way he can teach you to use Outlook.

Sales are building a program that allows you to follow up, most sales people do not follow up. The reasons are you get discouraged, you will see a commercial client on average of 6 to 8 times to close.

The only difference in my sales program is I will not waste time on someone if they are not worth my time. I have learned that there business has to be worth my effort.

I spent a lot of time of customers i didn't want, took years to learn I don't want everyones business.
 
Mine is how I will end this all, will I be able to stay away from it when I do next MAY?

Are you retiring in May?

So my biggest hurdle and I am sure I will get crap for this is trying to get my business up and going while still working full time at my current job. This is going to be my career change for a better family life, but need my current job until that can happen.

I was just talking about this with my helper the other day and having to see someone 6 to 8 times is the hurdle for me. It isn't like I just ask and they give me the work. I know they are going to come up with every excuse. man I can only take no so many times.
 
My biggest hurdle is ME. As some are already aware, I am still teaching full-time. This leads me to hold back a lot of times out of the fear of the unknown. It's time I respect myself and business by working a well-thought out plan and sticking to it. My excuses like not having time, money, experience have grown old and need to be put to rest.

My original goal was to be able to have my wife stop teaching so she can stay home with our children, and for me to be able to stop teaching by 2015/2016. Now my goal is to be able to do this by the summer of 2014. Time's ticking - no excuses!

There are guys here I've told in the past you just have to , if you ask them they will tell you it was the best thing they did. They will never have a job ever.

Guys like Scott & Tony will also tell you a job for them in any part of there lives isn't likely and option.

I'm looking for something to do in 2015 or 2016 depending on how long my vacation is.

Your going to stay away, Not a chance!

Away from industry no, but day to day baby sitting employees. I'm through with that, 30 years.

I have a neighbor who works from home by himself. I will venture into done thing like this for sure.

Biggest obstacle is balancing work with a personal life. Seems like we could work all the time if we wanted to. My biggest obstacle is trying to enjoy life and trying to run business at the same time

I had to stop working weekends Long ago, just wasn't worth missing the kids off school. First Five Years i missed a lot of my KIDs & Wife.

I highly recommend younger guys do not Get caught up in this, its not worth it.

Never missed anything, That's one of the reasons I wanted to be self-employed, but in order to be at all of the activities and ball games it means you have to work some odd hours. Did a lot of work in the middle of the night and early in the mornings to make sure i didn't miss anything.

Yeah A lot of the Younger guys get Caught up, I admit I did 30 years ago. Years you can make up.


Good for you though Mark, the goal you have is the right one. Money comes by itself doesn't it?
 
Speaking of weekends off -
My biggest hurdle is finding dependable help. After going thru 6 guys this year I finally have a truck wash crew put together so I can get my weekends back.
Before the Nashville event I hadn't had a weekend off in 7 months. We'll see how it goes.

Chad a Weekend is the days you make them brother, I know you may have to work weekends because of the type of work.

Re-charging your batteries is a Must, often we think work work work. Reality is taking time off can actually make you a more productive person.
