Asleep on a stranger’s driveway.
Sleeping on a pile of hoses.
That’s how we found our 15 year old son, Micah, earlier this week.
Micah decided to open a power washing service. He took $500 he’s saved from birthday money and chores and bought a nice power washer. He wanted to get paid according to his efforts during his work this summer. He can’t drive yet so he had to figure out transportation. We told him we can pick up and drop off.
He planned to knock on doors all day on Saturday and gets the “yeses” while wading through the sea of “no’s”.
Monday to Friday he does one to two jobs per day. He built a spreadsheet to track the revenue. His buddy helped open a sign-up genius webpage for customers. He’s built a journal of all the reasons people say ”no” and we talk at night about the way to politely answer them. He started jotting them down and memorizing them.
We’ve talked a lot about the heart behind selling a service with integrity versus just closing deals.
It’s a deep belief in your service. Memorizing ways to overcome objections by giving new information versus manipulating.
But here’s the the thing that’s an encouragement for us all.
Millions of people get great training.
Millions of people have great ideas.
Millions of people whiteboard the ideas.
Millions of people buy equipment.
Millions of people set goals and get excited.
Millions of people have “motivation”.
Few people take time to wake up early and go put in a full day of work. Then a full week of work. Then a full summer of work.

GARDEN TIPS FOR THE WEEK:

Vegetables to plant in December include beets, cabbage, carrots, celery (transplants), Chinese cabbage, collards, garlic (toes), kale, kohlrabi, leeks (transplants), lettuce, mustard, onions (transplants or sets), radish, rutabaga, shallots (sets), spinach, Swiss chard, turnips and Brussels sprouts (transplants).

> Varieties of certain shrubs, such as azaleas, nandinas and junipers, will develop a purplish or burgundy tint to their foliage during cold weather. This is natural and no cause for worry. They will turn green again in the spring.

> Do not allow a layer of fallen leaves accumulate over the lawn for more than a few days or a week. The leaves block light from reaching the grass and can weaken it. Rake or otherwise remove the leaves weekly. Use the leaves for mulch or put them in your compost pile.

> If you don’t garden as much in the winter and won’t be using tools until spring, it’s important to store them properly. Clean tools thoroughly and coat the metal with a light film of oil to prevent rust. Drain the lawnmower gas tank and clean.

> Cool season flower seeds that may be sown now include alyssum, candytuft, forget-me-not, poppies, ornamental cabbage and kale, lobelia, dianthus, calendula, sweet pea, larkspur, cornflower and annual phlox. Transplants of these and other types of cool season bedding plants can also be purchased from area nurseries and planted now.

I never know my next phone call & job, but, you can guarantee that I'll show up, give you a estimate, and do you a professional quality job! I love what I do, so no job too big or small, we coming! Pleasing the customer is my top priority. I got called last week to go look at a 1975 airstream in immaculate condition. She was fine inside and out! They asked if we could detail and bring life back to it? It was a pleasure working for some great folks, and the smile on their face once I was done was why I do what I do. Give me a call for all those odd jobs or things you need done around your place. Thank you all for your business.
