Had a wild interaction happen with me being on the client side of a cold call! - The story was packed full of pointers I wanted to talk about and warn you from making the same mistakes coming at it from a customer point of view!

I'm currently noticing that the biggest hurdle I am now having to face is how to stand out in what seems to be a sea of mobile welders in my area.

It may seem harsh but without clear and defined guidelines to operate by in any relationship, things can get very heated. When misunderstanding and assumption is mixed into a business transaction things can become a headache to deal with that could have been avoided in the first place.

New thought on how you should be looking at every person you interact with when you own a business!

I did not see or realize the intricacies of marketing and which parts of marketing leads to work and jobs in the short term vs the long term. I talk about what I now understand about it here!

There are times you will feel like giving it all up and like you are not getting the results you hoped for. When that time comes you need someone to help pull you through that uncomfortable time. To help keep pushing you so you can stay in the game long enough to find the success you hope for!

The thing that might be limiting your incoming work or sales might be that you aren't charging enough! You ever think that would be a problem?

I am probably worse at it then anyone so I knew it was a good subject to talk about! That great business opportunity or that lucky bid on an amazing job is great in the moment. - That moment eventually passes though and something else has to replace it, you have to keep your pipeline full so to speak with new work and jobs.

The saying usually goes that with great sacrifice comes great reward. Today I wanted to talk about the reality that most don't spend time going into. - The other side to the coin that you already hear all the time is just because you sacrifice doesn't mean you are entitled to success. There are a number of reasons why a person might fail but sacrifice is only a small portion of why someone will succeed.

There is no one pushing you or driving you to work longer, harder or faster. You, being the owner of your business, are the only one who decides how hard you work. - Hustle is talked about all the time but the point gets missed by most people. It's not about working harder, it's about working smarter. Listen to yourself as you grow your business, you'll know what to do!
