Just a refresher on what is to come. Cold weather is right around the corner.

Resi slowed down, but I think after labor day it will get nuts.

Then it's the fall gutter cleaning. I've been working on the marketing some for a while. Henry's comments got me excited. Then it's a whirlwind trip to Chicago for a holiday lighting expo for one day. All goes well we will push into early Jan. Then a chamber home show in late feb and then back at it.

In the little bit of down time, got to spend lots of time on the website, and begin work on my two other online businesses.

I started off the year great but it's really died over the last 6 weeks or so. This political garbage going on in Washington is scaring the crap out of everyone,,even me....I'm hoping it does like it did last year though and people start calling again in Sept and Oct. It's been really cool here already so I'm looking for an early winter. I really need to push more comercial next year.

We are on track to hit out 100k goal by the end of the year. The marketing company is taking off like a missle .... Our office is together and grand opening is thursday!!!! We almost had a record week last week... The money is there guys you just might have to turn over more rocks.

Hang on fire the ride DJ. It wont be long before $100k will be a bad year, virtual failure, for you! You're going to be a busy guy getting the marketing thing off the ground as well!

way to go DJ!! I'm not at 100k but I got pretty close with just PWing...

I've been beat up by some pretty slick lowballers for the past couple of weeks and that has not helped. My selling skills are so-so and I do focus on selling quality but the people are getting freaked from the Govt.

Are you doing better in resi and comm or just comm? My comm is growing.
