Hi Steve,

Got to tell you a story and I’ll keep it as short as I can. I had a good friend come in the store yesterday. We both had limo companies and were doing good when things were good. Then he sold his business and got into concrete pumping. Now as there is zero construction in this area he’s hurting. Anyway he came by the store and we shot the s… for a while putting the world to rights.

He’s obviously concerned like me that at his age, 51, who would employ him. He was late on his mortgage and he was very
scared. Here’s a guy who is a great role model for any kid, extremely professional, has a great family, is a really nice guy and terrified about what is going to happen next. I had to tell him my tale and my plan to start a window cleaning business. I showed him your course, that I have in a very nice binder, and he was impressed. Like me I think he thought window
cleaning meant throwing some water on the window and squeegeeing it off. I now know it is quite a science.

Anyway he then changes the subject, I think, and starts talking about working in Naples Florida with his son for two years. But starts to tell me about this little breakfast place they would go to. There was a very chirpy server who was always upbeat and cheerful. However she would disappear for a few days every now and then and sometimes for a week or two.

One day he confronted her and said " I’m sorry but I have to ask, you are always happy and upbeat, are you like this all the time?" she said ALL the time. He then said " You weren’t here last week and you are always gone for two or three days at a time. Is that your schedule or are you taking time off?. She said " Yen. We go to the beach 2 to 3 times a year, cruise or go
somewhere nice. Eitherway we like to travel. My buddy then says " how can you do so much on the pay and tips you get here?" Steve this is the kicker. The girl then said. Wait for it " I have a window washing business". I nearly fell on the floor laughing.

Great story.

Have a great day Steve and thanks for the opportunity to change my life for the better.

Stewart
