Just a tremendous wealth of information! I truly appreciate the guys that reply to my post. Being in this industry for only 2 years, I have a lotta questions, and this forum has taught me alot. I don't know where I'd be without access to a site like Mikey's Board!!

Ditto - would still be cleaning with a 1.5 wand and a 33 blower...

Site has really helped me to refocus on my business and has taught me alot...

Would've never even know what an El Diablo was if not for this site...

Business is up 50% or more in the last 1.5 yrs - alot of it directly from reading/lurking here...

Keep up the good work Mikey...

I've gained a lot from the board. Can't think of any specifics wrt to marketing but I was introduced to Les and bought a CanAm with all the latest tweaks. Gives me a great competitive edge since few cleaners here have any clue as to what's new in the industry.
I've made friends and have been able to help a few people. I hope I've been able to give as much as I've received.

This board is a valuable asset to the industry.

When I check the board in the morning before leaving for a day of sucking rug, I find encouragement in knowing I'm not the only fool trying to make a living this way, and I'm a little more enthusiastic about it all.

The knowledge gained here has definately allowed me to provide a more valuable service for my customers, and more profit for myself.

Thanks, Mikey!

How have you benefited from being a member here?

Wow, that's a lot of typing... Suffice it to say that the community here has helped me personaly, professionally and I have made some real friends and a lot of aquaintences on this board. I've learned a lot about the technical and administrative aspects of this business and my cleaning business is better for it (and thanks to my spam posts so is my supply biz... !gotcha! ).

I've had a sense of belonging and comraderie that I haven't felt in the industry until this board came to be... I've gotten some great advice, had some great arguments, shared the deatil of my home and business life and hopefully we're all better for it... If nothing else someone learned what not to do.

My THANKS to Mike, The Admins, Mods and Members for making this place what it is...
