Thanks Phil
Thanks Phil
Ron, one way around the file limitation (which we will be increasing soon) is to post your pictures to www.photobucket.com
They will then give you an img tag you just cut and paste into your thread where you want the picture to appear.
Jeff...nice vet...
Ron...thanks for the links...thats better!
Ron,
It is cool all your round tables are completed. Having the work done before the new year is good. Our posters however must know there will be other RT available for them. I am sure others out there are qualified and working on their RT as we speak. Anyone interested should keep dates open and money available to attend other RT which might pop up. We all know there are some very smart individuals posting that may have not even given it a thought to put on a RT in their neighborhood. People should keep an open mind and be ready for the actions of the future. I guess it would be like buying the first truck model off the line. I have kicked myself too many times for buying something that I should have waited for later. Keep up the good work promoting your RT and your business. That is how we grow.

Russ & Ron,
Sorry you took the post as you did. I did not say anything negative? Old posts need to be brought forward to realize where we come from sometimes? I only asked contractors to leave time to start more RT or attend the ones beneficial to them. With the economy as it is, there will be some very slim pickens on who can attend RT and how many they will attend. I spent over $5,000. for education this year. We will only spend $3,000 this year. There fore we can only attend certain RT and educational events.
Russ I have no feelings pro or con with Ron. He runs his business and I run mine. Of course we don't do business the same way. No one does. We have been growing our business since day 1. We use all available resources and help from others to do this. We spend thousands helping others as they help us. We have never asked a dime from anyone to grow our business. We have never sold or promoted any thing to grow our business. When I see anyone trying to profit from another contractor, I question this. I will give any business info and help any contractor any help I can. Free. That is our policy.
Ron,
I only spoke that it is good you promote your business and your RT daily on every BBS I post on. There again, I question the need to make money from others and using their businesses to grow mine at their cost. We wrote many times about the idea that you feel nothing free is worth it? It is costing people from the UAMCC, PT and GS to adverrtise your businesses daily. Someone has to pay to even run the sites? Someone has to make the sites available for contractors to network and post their ideas. Having anyone use this form as an advertising agent to grow their business to me is not reasonable. How about me posting daily remarks and selling my business on PWI? This would be no different would it? You kicked APPLE off your site just for this reason? The mentality of "Look at me", is unfair, unless we pay for it. Leading people to my web site from yours, using remarks and doing whatever it takes to get peple away from your site to mine? Unfair? I believe so. Of course we all know the PW industry needs help. We have too many folks working for less money and not growing their business. They need help from all of us. They should not have to pay a dime for assistance or advice.
We should offer our services free. Let's show them how to make a business plan or contact property managers. All free.
I hope all your RT are very profitable for you and those holding them. I also hope some of the money will be used to grow other contractors businesses. Just think if there was an income of $40,000 profit from a year of RT made by someone, and they donated 50% of it to help others! It would be awsome. Especially for those receiving the help.
Let me know when you will sponsor a benefit RT for contractors who need a boost. I will be happy to help you promoting the RT on my web site. I enjoy helping others. Thank you for the advice and info you shared on your ideas. Again, I ment nothing negative about your RT.
Russ,
That is good to know. I appreciate anyone who helps others. Which event was the benefit and what was donated to whom? That is awsome helping others. Sorry I missed it.
I guess the info about Apple was mis construde some how? Again thank you.
