Oring!
You big S*!T, I have been waiting all day after the phone call to come read this.....Laughing all through my last job wondering what did Mikey say lolI guess I'll have to have Dang make me one...
Beautiful post and a HIGH FIVE right there, This is 100% accurate, my cc has suffered, many times I have said screw this carpet cleaning is much easier....but I love what I do.First of all I would like to say that the quote my friend Mike posted was a little inaccurate as I don’t believe I said “leave it to the big guys” I started in this industry over 30 years ago as carpet cleaner and I have the highest level of respect and gratitude to this great industry. Many of the best tools of our trade started out in a cleaner’s garage on their work bench. In fact Dri-Eaz was started by a carpet cleaner and friend of my family Claude Blackburn. I think this post has been taken out of context as Mike and I were discussing some of the challenges that folks in our industry have faced in taking their great idea and building a few units by hand in their garage to mass production. I am sure those who have stepped into the arena of manufacturing will attest that the grass in not always greener on the other side. Purchasing parts, fabrication, insurance, marketing, accounts receivable, accounts payable all demand time, energy and capital. My point was there comes a time when the manufacturing of the product distracts from the cleaner’s core business and juggling their schedule becomes exhausting. I will note that Mike was in full agreement with this and thus I am sure why he started this discussion. Additionally the risk of someone knocking off their product with a lower cost alternative is always present, something Legend Brands does not do! I would point out that Legend Brands has a long history of supporting small business people in our industries ideas. We have had the privilege to work with the Studebakers on several tools that cleaners use daily. I am sure that my friend Keith Studebaker would tell you that neither I nor Legend Brands takes this industry for granted or in any way want to stifle entrepreneurship and creativity. We welcome ideas that challenge current technologies and drives us to continued product development.
