This year been wild yo

[Gamisch]

3 jobs simultaneously. Up to 20 hours per day sometimes. People are talking and spreading the word, like the ladies been spreading those legs. Almost at that point that I can hire personnel.

I know I'll inspire at least one person....grind, work, hustle, put in the effort. Aim at the top 20% and than some more. I went from nothing to something but it was hard work.

Women will come. But your experience will be soooo much better when you have leverage. A goal that's NOT about women. They WILL smell it. The key to getting women is to put yourself first. Be a leader and they'll follow.

Next year imma put even more energy in this. I'm just getting started

How was your year?

Another thing;

I identify as a Caribbean black dude ( even tho I'm mixed with all kinds of shyte) and let me tell you; succes will overcome r/ is stronger than racism.

When you offer a service, and the service is top-notch ,people can't care less about the colour of your skin. Simultaneously YOU will care less and less about that one sucker who tries to put you in any kind of negative corner.

Don't let anything hold you back. Let gooo

It's all kittens and sunshine until the sun decides to take out the power grid. This year could get wilder yet.

Hi Gamisch,
You're going Gangbusters,but a word of caution....The months just before Christmas are always busy and things tend to quieten down after...The jump from being self-employed to managing labour requires different skills...Perhaps a better strategy is to lift your profit margin a little until you see how the market settles down.

Again, this is good advice. Every business varies with its seasonality, but I always I have plenty of money put away during my slow season.

Yeah you are 100% right. That's why I'm hesitant even tho I do see a long-term plan and vision.

Finding skilled personnel is a pain in the azz. Yet,there are some crazy opportunities right now...

How was your year?

It was a b1tch. My woman´s father died In January, and the stress of it all re-activated health issues she had in remission. She was hospitalized during the summer. She´s out of the hospital now gracias a Dios but she is still not in remission, it could take years to get back on track. On the bright side, all of it was somehow a test on the relationship and it came out even stronger on the other side.

I got a permanent promotion at work back in February so I guess there´s that. New administration coming in next february, hopefully some things change for the best.

Finally found some medicine that helps me sleep (Quetiapine). Using it forever is not ideal, Im gradually increasing my workout so that tiredness hopefully eventually replaces the need for it.

Bunch of drama on my mother´s side. I do my best to stay as far away as possible.

There´s one more thing, its a W and its a big one for me, but Im not ready to post about it. Hopefully early next year I will make a thread regarding it.

Hi Gamisch,
Skilled personnel are aware of their worth...Slowly-slowly...At this embryonic stage you really need a casual brush hand..The skillful part is preparation,repairing,stopping sanding down...Having prepared the work you do the cutting in while your brush hand does the exhausting roller work...I found casual labour amongst the permanently unemployed sucking at the teat of the Welfare Cow...Such people will often work irregular hours,for Cash in hand...You will need to network amongst your community,advertise...You are in a cut throat business,I doubt there is enough continuity of work to justify formal employment.
