Can anyone smart tell me why it's a bad idea to roll up local driving ranges?

How did I convert 'I don't have enough money for a repair' into 'Let's move forward with the whole roof'?

How would you feel about a potential customer giving you a 5-star review after choosing to go with the competition?

'Is it always going to be like this?' - my wife

There's a lot you have to put up with as a small business owner.

Moments like this make it all worth it.

Happy to play a small

Long one today. Still got it in.

Mile streak continues. Day 257 ✅

A day in the life of an owner/operator of a new home service business:

4:04am: Wake up (I’m weird- I can only set my alarm in palindromes)

4:30am: 45 minute mobility + lift
