Do you run your bisiness or does you busi

The topic is suppose to be.  Do you run your business or does your business run you?  Just incase it makes no sence.

Money isn't the point in CC.... 1000 dollar day isn't nothing if your willing to work...

service srevice service brings those calls in.... if I have nothing I have that

I'm willing to go the extra 2 miles for any customer I clean for... and it pays off big time in the end....

a lot of you forum members have come and gone....

but Steamers still here singing the same old song....

Some for them... some for me... I like it .... It gets me the exposure I need.

The thing is doug I know what I'm doing.... when I clean a carpet it is well cleaned... they don't give anymore work than you want.  Plus with all the line up of people wanting to be carpet cleaners(lol not).  It's the cleaners market if your as good as I am....

I'm not affraid to say it in public I'M DAMN GOOD..... I believe it and I make it true

Mr. Steamer:  It no wonder you work for someone .  There is only one way to do things in Steamer's world.  That is  Steamer's way and the wrong way.  You should be the instructor of wealth and wellness in the world of cleaning.

Mr. Steamer... and others who might listen in:

No one ever debates about whether or not the sun will rise in the morning.  Why not?  Because it's a 'given.'  Not worth the argument. Silly to argue the rising of the sun, because EVERYONE knows it to be a FACT. It does not require a leap of faith.

What do we argue over?   The things that we're uncertain of.  We argue over our favorate fighter, or hockey team, or we argue our religious beliefs Why?  Because we feel the need to affirm our standpoint.  Because we're not 100% certain of it's fact.   It's not a 'given' it's a leap of faith.

You seem to argue (even when you don't have an opponent) that you are a good carpet cleaner (yeah, yeah, yeah... the best etc... etc.. & so on ad nauseum)

I don't see others doing this.  I see a group of self confidant carpet cleaners who know that they'll do a good job.. sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.

Take a leap of faith... belive in yourself without bragging and arguing about it. 

No offence intended,

Some people self educate and I see a bit of this in Mr. Steamer. But personality along with a little Irish blarney works wonders. Personality sells. If people like you they will buy from you. When most uneducated cleaners say a spot won't come out most people will believe them. Now what works for some may not work for others.

Welcome to our forum Joel. It's well worth hanging in. If we don't educate you we will entertain you.

I am a magician and when you tell people the sponge ball is in the left hand bar far most people will believe you. Sometimes too much education works against you. Let's face it we are dealing with dirt. Don't bore them with your knowledge of dirt stories.

Many years ago when I first worked and sold into the dry cleaning industry I always remember a dry cleaner in Vancouver who had a large Marquee saying he was the best in Canada. I was devastated by this. How would he know he was the best? Is this an out and out lie? Well years later I now realize this was part of his marketing strategy and if he indeed believed he was the best then good for him. Today you must be a believer in your own product and service.
