007

What impressives me about you is that you went deep into the archives and pulled out information that was posted months ago.

Seems to me you are truly looking for some advise. Hope you get what you are looking for..  Good Luck!!

I guess you go through that every so often doug, when the horse dies...

you don't have two horses...so it can't have sex....if it can't have sex it can't reproduce...

maybe you should become a two horse town???

1 male  = 1 female would be ideal...lol

Mr. 007:  Let me tell you something.  If all the educational seminars and training had been  available when I started life would have been quite different.  You had to fly and travel for ever to get to a simple carpet cleaning seminar.  How things have changed.  Competition most of it is like you all they know is what they have read on the instruction  booklet that came with the machine and what is on the lable on the jug of cleaner.  Ignorance and stupidity is no excuse for not knowing what you are doing when there is no end to the amount of available knowledgs out there.   Unfortunately in this day and age it is hard to earn while you learn to clean on someone's carpet.  Oh by the way I am still learning and try to attend seminars and workshops  when I can.  This is an ever changing world that we live in.  By the way I don't live in a city.  As Mr. Steamer states over and over " You live in a ONE HORSE TOWN"Guitar]]> Tue, 06 Jul 2004 19:09:27 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=481&PID=4915&title=new-to-the-industry#4915 <![CDATA[new to the industry : It&#039;s all about the service...who...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=481&PID=4914&title=new-to-the-industry#4914 Author: MR.

I started out by working for someone else.I'm very glad I did.I've learned quite alot since venturing out on my own.

In my first year I saw alot of employees come and go(this industry truly isn't for everyone.

I can't imagine starting a business I know absolutely nothing about.

question

if you can't even afford a class,how in the heck are you going to afford all the insurances,equipment etc. to start a biz??

I started with a low operating capitol and I TRULY do not recommend it to anyone.

Mr. Dougy

I apologize for thinking this forum was about giving each other help.  In case you did not know this, there is competition in every industry.  So, I guess I better just get on welfare than.  I am not asking anyone to come clean carpets for me and I am not asking people to give me their customers.  It sounds like you are afraid of competition.  What was it like when you didn't know squat about carpet cleaning?  I know you did what i'm doing and that is trying to get the hang of all of this.  Perhaps you should study business in general.  Competition is a good thing so don't be scared of it.  I am marketing myself and I did get off my ass, why do you thing I got in the carpet cleaning business?  Yes, I bought me a god damn carpet cleaning machine and yes, I do plan on buying more god damn equipment and if I was in your city I would eventually take your god damn customers away!  DISCUSSION OVER...
