After months of hunting for the right business to buy, I’ve decided to build one instead! I’m bootstrapping a parking lot line striping company & I've already booked my first job that is scheduled for this Saturday!!! The reality is that it’s currently a seller’s market &

I love fact checking stuff. It drives my friends nuts, but I love doing it.. So, I decided to see if the same thing was happening in my town, and sure enough, it is. It's not every single arrest, but these dudes aren't white. @GrandJunctionPD @MesaPD - Why are you doing

I ran down the rabbit hole last night... What I've discovered is shocking. I searched through thousands of arrests in my county and every single Hispanic individual who has been arrested is labelled as "WHITE" Not one, not two... HUNDREDS How long has this been going on?!!!!

I was just asked to install 20 wheel stops, which are the concrete stops shown in the attached picture. Despite having never done this before, I just agreed to quote it because I need to learn. I'm imagining the hardest part is getting the concrete slabs on site and into

Nothing about wounding an animal is funny. It's your responsibility as a hunter to do everything in your power to take a clean shot. If you're too lazy to zero your rifle, don't go hunting.

I haven't gone deer hunting in 10 years. I wonder if this is still zeroed. Do I check or just go for it? Looool

My grandfather was in sales at a grocery store wholesaler for almost 2 decades. The company had to rewrite their commissions payouts because, at one point, he was making more than the CEO because he was making so many sales. Numerous times, he's talked about how he used to

One of my very good buddies passed away from cancer this morning. He was 35 and had 3 kids ages 10, 7, and 2.. I'm not posting this looking for sympathy or condolences, but to remind everyone that tomorrow isn't guaranteed. RIP brother

I recently spoke with a health insurance broker to determine costs of providing health insurance for my family, through my business. It blew my mind that the health of the individual isn't taken into consideration with pricing. The only factors taken into consideration are age

How much longer can this be ignored? The chart below understates the problem (looks only at premiums) by ignoring the plan design changes that devalue coverage and shift costs to employees. Healthcare continues to spiral out of control..

They mix milk with ice and coffee. It should be a minimum wage job because anyone can do this with 30 minutes of training.

It’s ridiculous that baristas are STILL fighting for a living wage and fair labor practices. I’m standing in solidarity with Starbucks workers today and every day as they fight for a fair contract and the end of union busting. #NoContractNoCoffee

BTC bros are some of the most optimistic, dumbest people on the planet. "It's gone up a lot" is their only argument as to why it's worthwhile.

Dude.. I'm getting so lucky.. Last week, I called the number listed on a yard sign in my neighborhood for lawn care. It was obviously written by a kid, but I cut grass as a kid, so I called. Long story short, the mom and I hit it off, and both the kid and his mom came over

I desperately need to get better at sales. I can very easily carry on a conversation, but I struggle when it comes to closing & conveying value. How do I get better at sales?

Well, I just learned that the customer wants rubber wheel stops instead of concrete. I explicitly asked this question prior to ordering them, and I was told to order concrete. What a fun problem! 🫥
