Thanks for asking. Started out a little up and down with the Recession and media scaring folks. Overall, it has turned out to be a very strong year with significant growth on the commercial side and slower but steady growth on the residential side. I am currently trying to evaluate the market potential for expansion options in my service areas.
How's the Military Base Carpet Cleaning going, besides still being around?

Just had my best year in 20 years of being in this business, so things aren't too bad
 . Then again, we aren't in recession in Australia. |

That will cost about $3 per 1 gal of
prespray..
 I dont think so.. It addsup when you have alot of nasty
carpets to clean taking away from your
bottom line..
The stuff i use comes to.25cents per gal of prespray which will
clean the nastiest of the nasties easily..
 Your cost 12 times as much to use.
 In a year your talking thousands of dollars
you could of saved for your family and
kids..

Ed, I see a ship headed towards the rocks but the damn admiral refuses to look out of the window and will rely on his charts.
 The story changes as it develops holes in the leeward sail. If you take a punt out in the open ocean...... I'm still in awe of the arrogance/ignorance blend. But then again, internet fights....  Edited by Just Ol' Willy - 04/June/2008 at 10:49am |

Now, that was really funny, WILLY, and true in many ways too. You are a true Gentleman and friend.
Great and entertaining comment as usual!!!
cCANDMORE, Thanks for the communication the other day too. I look forward to more in the near future!
BTW, the one most important lesson I have learned over my 37 + years in this Industry is that -----Most experience comes from doing things wrong-but have survived the test of time.-----
Therefore, I always recommend that we put more value into our "elders" and focus more on what they say and recommend. Its one thing to "look ahead" and guess what things will be , but its completely another to "look back" and prove what things were.
Just something to consider......................................(maybe?)
The very best to ALL;

Well, there you go. Too arrogant to accept the fact that we collectively might have a bit more insight in the industry than you do. You see little man, a lot of us tried your recipe for disaster, albeit without a fat pension as a fall back on. If you are too stupid or too full of yourself to accept all the years of knowledge and experience, than sail on sailor. Trust me, you'll become bitter and disillusioned in a short while. But then, none of the crew here knows as much as you do, or have any business smarts. Where can you find pleasure Search the world for treasure Learn science technology Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true On the land or on the sea Where can you learn to fly Play in sports and skin dive Study oceanography Sign of for the big band Or sit in the grandstand When your team and others meet In the navy Yes, you can sail the seven seas In the navy Yes, you can put your mind at ease In the navy Come on now, people, make a stand In the navy, in the navy Can't you see we need a hand In the navy Come on, protect the motherland In the navy Come on and join your fellow man In the navy Come on people, and make a stand In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy) They want you, they want you They want you as a new recruit If you like adventure Don't you wait to enter The recruiting office fast Don't you hesitate There is no need to wait They're signing up new seamen fast Maybe you are too young To join up today Bout don't you worry 'bout a thing For I'm sure there will be Always a good navy Protecting the land and sea In the navy Yes, you can sail the seven seas In the navy Yes, you can put your mind at ease In the navy Come on now, people, make a stand In the navy, in the navy Can't you see we need a hand In the navy Come on, protect the motherland In the navy Come on and join your fellow man In the navy Come on people, and make a stand In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy) They want you, they want you They want you as a new recruit Who me? They want you, they want you They want you as a new recruit But, but but I'm afraid of water. Hey, hey look Man, I get seasick even watchin' it on TV! They want you, they want you in the navy Oh my goodness. What am I gonna do in a submarine? They want you, they want you in the navy |

I'd also like to know how $30 per hour and $41k annually all of a sudden became $8K gross and $5120 net. Maybe I missed something in one of the posts. Is there a special super-secret business model for believers?

I think it’s probably Military Base Carpet Cleaner. Let’s see, very little experience touting a business plan, complete with trumpets and halo, which enabled him to beat out a guy using a TM. You don’t suppose being a retired naval officer with 25 years got him that military base contract? Try to make a living off the base for a few years with 12.5 cents per sqft. Then tell me about your business model. |
