Don’t count us out Jim.
From what I’ve seen in my long (not yet Bawb long) life, there’s not too many third generation small businesses. If Brady screws up my grandchild like I’ve seen so often, I’m going to be pissy.
A trend I've found troubling is how many cleaners are "hanging up their wands" and shutting down, with no one younger to take over the business, and fewer young people starting cleaning businesses today.
Andrew is the future, and with enough men like him, it will be a bright one.
I remember when you and Marty and Mikey and I were relatively young guys in this industry. Look at us now.

Go buy the customer lists.3 in my service area in the last 3 years, probably all guys you know
Go buy the customer lists.
hey old owners,Not at all Marty
I've I lost every customer I have who is still cleaning carpet past 60, I'm not sure I'd still be in business.
I'm just making sure I have some guys around to do business with when I'm 80.
When I started on the road seeing carpet cleaners in 1979, I was dealing with guys my father's age. Now those guys are mostly gone, and the guys who were my age then (mostly SOBs like me ...."Sons Of Bosses") are closing in on retiring.
There aren't a lot of "third generation" carpet cleaners out there, so I'm glad to see bright and successful ones like Andrew doing well.
