Just go buy a Hoover and be done with. I think that will be even more than you are capable of?

Adwa:

I will keep You posted with regards to my equipment buying decisions. Yes, I agree with You.

Did You know in board room meetings there is a terminology for that, it is called: " The Shot Gun Approach "

They say its not good to have too many business's , Makes it hard to focus, the shotgun shell has a spread and has a tendancy to hit different objects, As opposed to the rifle, Bullseye, You can focus better at one target, Translation for that would be increasing the quality & Profitablility of the current business and making each individual customer happier.

So the main decision for me is do I want to get into yet another venture.
The 2nd decision I am faced with is the equipment.


Thanks in Advance,
Chris

Anybody have a pic of the Nordic 1 I keep hearing about??

Hey, Maxima ROI's vary in this industry.

I believe the record for a one man truck is $357,000.00 yr.

SS's around my area pull in close to $2,000,000.00 yr.

Maxima kept us all in suspense. He sucked our brains dry and left us all hanging.

Does anybody think he actuallly purchased equipment of do you think it was just nightrider pullling our chains one more time.

Carpetologist;

Your comments are very well taken. I have also thought that if the inquirer asks for help and many extend their hands (thoughts and comments) in good faith, then it would be the honorable response of that individual whom considers himself/herself a good business person, to conclude by Thanking everyone rather than leaving everyone hanging by their short hairs.

This could have been a typical hit & run situation so typical in our Industry------unfortunately.

Good Fortune to all;

Ed Valentine

I am still here. I thank everyone for the time they took to answer my questions. I have this on the back burner sort of speak until next year. reason being is because I could NOT reach equipment buying decisions before the yellow page deadline came around.

Additionally, I will be in the business for the long haul. So I think it is is my best interest to start with a truck mount. This is not something I wanted to rush into. I now have a full year or 10 months to investigate things even further.

Thanks Again.

I guess the generic statement: "ALL portables are the same" is the eact same as this one: "ALL TM's are the same" to.

ALL automobiles have the same tires, steering wheel, seats, etc....

 

 

 

 

HARDLY TRUE. And, after our achievement demands (CE Approval) in design and engineering on several models , that is not only a generic statement, but also an uninformed information.

 

Good Fortune;
