In this episode, I discuss gutter guard upgrades, and I make the following points:

• Just because someone already has gutter guards doesn't mean they are not eligible for what we have to offer
• We have done many replacements of cheap, big box store gutter guards
• Sometimes, even if a customer buys gutter guards from the hardware store or from Amazon and want you to install them, they can be persuaded to upgrade

In this episode, I speak of how you can end up cleaning gutters twice in the 4th quarter for certain customers.

In this episode, I pose the question, Are you a gutter cleaner who is in business, or a businessperson who does gutter cleaning?,  and I extol the virtues of the latter, which is being a businessperson who does gutter cleaning.

In this episode, I talk about how the gutter cleaning business is a realistic business opportunity, and I make the following points:

• Many people hate their jobs and they are looking for an alternative.
• There are many online business opportunities that promise that you can make 6 figures in your pajamas using only a laptop and a mobile phone.
• The gutter cleaning business is more realistic than those online opportunities that the masses are chasing

In this episode, I answer the question,"Should I Use A Gutter Vac?", and I make the following points:

• Always get a good foundation by learning how to effective clean gutters the old fashioned way.
• If you use machines, never become dependent on them.
• If you get answers to this question from someone who uses the gutter vac, find out the best practices.

In this episode, I recount an incident wherein I had to pay about $32,000 in damages...

In this episode, I speak about an encounter that I recently had wherein I installed almost 500 feet of Bulldog Gutter Guard on a commercial building.  I make the following points:

• A big fish is not a whale.  A big fish may be a job in the low thousands whereas a whale is a job in the 10's of $1,000's.
• Persistence pays off when going fishing for big fish or whales.

In the episode, I speak of the value of keeping gutter guard customers in the loop for the future, and I make the following points:

• On average, people stay in any given house in America for 13 years.
• Keeping customers in the loop open up opportunities for servicing their next home after they move.
• Keeping customers in the loop also opens up opportunities for alternative services.

In this episode, I talk about business wisdom from the Scriptures, specifically from II Kings 6:1 - 7, and I make the following points:

• We all make mistakes in the beginning stages of our business.  It's called the learning curve.
• Having a good coach or consultant that has been where you have been and  made the same mistakes is valuable.
• You can recover from mistakes much faster and seemingly miraculously with a good coach/consultant.
