Big Thanks


Call me crazy. I don't know if it's that I made/making good profit this month to start my second year in buisnes, if its that I am on my third, fourth, whatever celabratory beer, or I am just a little sleep deprive, two sick toddlers, but I LOVE YOU GUYS. I was thinking about this today. I almost feel like I owe you guys money. I sincerly belive that because I stumbled onto this site, I made it thru my first year. Because of this site I have elevated every single aspect of my buisness. I love the fact that everyone here tells it like it is, and has so much info, it blows my mind. Plus, everyone is a smarta$$, like me. I know i will get some **** for this from you guys for this but I would expect nothing less. Plus, I hit over 100 posts.

"I love you guys man!"

When you see this, you're gonna be like "WFT?!?!?"

Congrats, you've learned a valuable thing, to listen.

Make sure you listen to your clients as much as the advice here.

Re: Big Thanks


AH, the morning after, and the realization of what you did the night before. I did mean it though. Everybody here rocks. Yes, i have learned to listen to the customers better. I'll bet some off you already figured this out, but.....
I don't know how many times I have went to look at a job and it is a couple. You can pick up right away that the guy is tired of listening to her talk about what colors and what styles they are going to do the kitcken/bathroom/whereever. If you just let the lady yap on she will like the fact that you listen,and 9 out of ten timed I have gotten the job. It takes some extra time to let her yapon, but well wurth it to get the job.

And now you've learned about
TWI.
You aren't the first one around here.
(Maybe one of the more pleasant though)
The as the evening wears on you can
watch the typo's and belligerence increase
with a few nameless individuals.

"I love you man!"

Hey. There are plenty of us who love you guys when we're drunk. It's getting us to love you when we're sober that's tough.

Re: Big Thanks


Enough of the "I Love You's" send the money!!

Or how about buying everybody a round!

Good luck on your second year, despite the doom and gloom of the mainstream media, business looks to be very good over here. How about everybody else?

Re: Big Thanks


Glad to hear you made it through that tough first year.
I did not realize though that we had the incredible, unequaled mass of knowledge here that you credit to us. We should all get together and write a book and become milllionaires. After all, think about the possibilities....if that guy on the health channel can sell millions of copies of his book telling everyone that all they need to do to be healthy is throw a pile of fruits and veggies into their blender and drink 5 glasses per day of the resulting juice, which looks like something from a clogged sewer line, to make them crap every 30 minutes because their problems are are related to a buildup of toxins in their colon...well you get it. Got to end this thread so I can start looking for some property on the ocean in Costa Rica before it is all gone.

To hell with the media. All they want to report is doom and gloom. Albuquerque, NM is growing like crazy and there are alot of remodle jobs out there. I don't know which would be cheaper, buy a round or pay for info.

Thanks, Linda!
LOL ~ I just saw your response, Putty Truck. Now you know everything there is to know about making sure a woman is unaware that she might be unhappy.
