Why is pest control the best industry? Each tech can service >$400k in a year Quarterly services cost $125 and take 20 minutes to complete Compare it to trash pickup where they charge $40 a month and service weekly. Labor is cheap Products are cheap Margins are insane

My hot take: America will crumble when pieces of large, important infrastructure eventually fail. The Baltimore bridge was hit by a ship 18 months ago and they have done almost nothing since. Too much red tape. We couldn’t recreate the America we live in now because it would

Reminder that we built the Golden Gate Bridge in 4.5 years. Today, we wouldn’t even be able to finish the environmental review in 4.5 years.

I had a sales rep with an upset tummy this morning (4th of a July). He’s a 23 year old full grown adult but he crapped his pants when he got out to his area to start knocking doors. His girlfriend drove an hour out to him, brought him a change of clothes, and he went out and

I’ve been living here a year. The food sucks There’s a homeless problem they pretend doesn’t exist Air quality is horrible Downtown often feels like a ghost town There’s plenty of good things but it’s been one of my least favorite places I’ve ever lived.

It sucks that we have to borderline harass people to pay their bills. I just dont understand how some people think it’s okay to just not pay bills.

I’m 26, married, have a kid, and company doing $2 million in revenue. Work hard 40-50 hours a week then go home and enjoy your family. I’d rather have a happy wife and kids that love me rather than a few million extra in the bank. In my opinion, it’s far less impressive to

We’re getting an LDS temple in our town, Grand Junction, CO. It’s hilarious how many people living near it have been against it even though their property value has skyrocketed and neighborhoods and businesses are being developed like crazy on the adjacent streets. It’s a

Customer called us for a quote. Wanted to shop around. Called another local company on google. We answered that call as well. She said sounds like you guys have cornered the market. Let’s get scheduled.
