Yes there was. It was the night in 2003 when I won the contest and hummer from Joe Polish. Because it gave validation to the hard work and significant gains that we had made with the business. Leading up to the win we were so focused on implementing all the strategies that we didn't have time to smell the roses. But at that point we were able to look back and just see how far we had really come.
Another thing that has really helped us is that we live in a population of 4 million and there is lots and lots of money in Atlanta. We have been able to grow because this city has grown.
No I kept the hummer 8 months, put 12000 miles on it, and then sold it. We took the money from the sale and made a down payment on a piece of commercial rental property.
Thanks Steve, very interesting. We all have so much in common as we each try to "crack the code."
The quality of people looking for work has been declining for years while the cost of doing business and the customers demands for quality keeps rising.
Yea, both you guys have been a real source of inspiration to me. It would be impossible to measure the value generated and created by you two. I thank you for that.
