Glad to hear.

Glad you got something out of it.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you. It’s always a great conversation when Uncle Ron is on.

I’m always open to a chat to see what can be developed.

@@flooracademypod let me know where I should reach out to

@@Woodflooralchemist flooracademypodcast@gmail.com Find me on Facebook or Book.flooracademypod.com/call

Nothing wrong with paying an employee a boatload when they are helping build the dream and actually deliver.

I am not talking about Carl Wheeler. You can learn more about the mastermind at flooracademypod.com/mastermind You can schedule a call at the bottom of the page.

Glad to hear. Don't forget to join the Facebook group so you can ask questions in there. Feel free to reach out and hit me up if you would like. One more empowered contractor can help change the entire industry.

If you can meet one person that changes your trajectory, then the show is more than worth it. I usually meet at least a couple. You have to pay to play. Invest in yourself. Spend money to make money. However, you want to summarize it, sitting at home doing the same old thing will never move the needle. Glad you found value in the show and had a good time. I appreciate the thanks but I just talked about it. You did the hard work and got there. As for my voice, it was fine. I survived. I didn't have a choice but to talk, so that's what I did. Got hit by a bug and took about a week to get better but I had my voice back by Saturday. I don't know of any events in Canada off of the top of my head but there has got to be soemthing.

The needle has been moved, at least for me. I was the only installer in my area that went to the show (metro population over 110,000 people). just sayin'

Wise words.

An amazing man for sure.

There are a lot of successful contractors that understand they are running a business. I see just as many if not more that think they are merely a flooring installer, plumber, HVAC, framer, or whatever and that is all they are. I want to know why. If you actually know your numbers, understand how to be profitable, and are building systems and processes, then the question does not apply.

This was an amazing interview.

What is one thing you are grateful for?

I was working. 😜

You're not wrong. It could also be that I refused to grow as a person for many many years. Making it happen though.

I have not. I knew that the one with Jim had some issues. This one has some issues but it shouldn't be on my end. Jon's connection was a little wonky. If there is audio issues happening on my side in this one too, then I will look into it.

No saltiness towards companies that sub. It's not my preferred way to operate but there is money in it. If I'm salty about anything, it is companies that sub work but don't understand they are running a business and let everything get dictated to them like they are an employee. That's not how the relationship is supposed to work and it is highly illegal. Everyone has a business model but the it has to be run as a business and not a job. If you just want a job, there are plenty of companies looking to hire. There is no reason to operate your own company poorly and affect the entire market. This is not directed towards you, as I do not know your situation. It is a generalization. I appreciate you listening Cody and am glad you enjoy the podcast. I'm happy to chat anytime with anyone. If you want to email me and schedule a time to talk, feel free. FloorAcademyPodcast@gmail.com

NAILED IT!!!!

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I concur. It was a great interview and a lot of amazing takeaways to apply. If your business doesn't improve after listening to this one, it is because you are not doing the work.

So glad you enjoyed it. Dianne had so many great things to share.

I appreciate the positive feedback.

It's not just small town living, it's everywhere living.

Are these questios somethig Michael posed? I don't recall that coming up but I recorded this a while ago. If it is something he brought up, I ca have him on again in the future.

I went and checked out the video again. Y'all started taking about the 28 questions (line items) @16:10 mark. The SKU# idea seems like a great process to put in place.

It's really how I do my bids because I line item everything. You can do whatever you want on the paperwork to the client but internally you should still be keeping track of each project function and how much you do and how long it takes.

Thanks for listening. Reuben has been on the show. th-cam.com/video/_9KjwFrHDvM/w-d-xo.html

Thank you sir. It's going to take all of us to make this trade sexy and find the people we need.

@@flooracademypod yep I will do whatever I can to help so don’t hesitate to ask

You're doing your part. I saw your short about offering up training for free. Doesn't get more involved than that I would say.

@@flooracademypod I caught a lot of grief for that

@@FloorsbySouthernboys I'm sure you did. Probably from some of the guys that used to travel around the country on the weekends for free. They are mad you will train people for free but yet they will hire people for their companies and pay them to get trained. Do YOU my friend. Don't worry about the rest.

I may be correct in part. I will say that I have lots to learn and the world is vast. I know that even since the beginning of of the show my opinions on some things have changed. As the end of the day installers are a very valuable asset in the industry and need to stop being looked at as a liability. We all need to come together to better the industry and make it what we want it to be.

Thanks for listening Katie! I appreciate the love and feedback. I believe it's an important topic and a solid way to run a business.

Thanks for listening.
