Who is OCC Boss referring to as the slide guy? We have PadMan, Gmoney Man, Guide Man, Super Glide Man, Tide Man, Hide Man, Splash Man, Steamer Man, Carpetologist Man... ...and of course Dug-eee. I wonder if he could be the slide guy? |

Doug: He didn't say Glide Guy, he said Slide Guy. Ted is right, there is a number of people on this board that term could stick to. Me? I am coated in Teflon so nothing sticks. lol

It great that you have an entrepreneur spirit. Learning the basics of the carpeting cleaning methods and technique's is good. But in the end a sound business mind is very important. One of the many books out their for small business entrepreneurs , that I would recommend is "The E Myth" by Michael E. Gerber. Dennis Steele ( seals Restorations ) sask. |

You will get what you put into the business!

Sorry about the spelling. My partner was so negative, every job I priced was too low, everything I bought, we didn't need. Hes gone now and things are progressing upward all the time!!
