work is there. that being said, it's nice.
that sums it up for me.
what is interesting is that the "work" didn't just show up.
there was a lot of "wasted" effort on quotes and stuff.
a big chunk of what had to change was me, not "them".
ellen's weekend biz plan is where a lot of it started for me.
none of the customers i had three years ago are anywhere
in sight. i currently have four good commercial accounts
that are live, and about 4 more that will probably call when
they need stuff.
those four active accounts it looks like will amount to around
$2M in billing in the next three years. time will tell, but i'm
thinking i might very well need to put a crew together. it's time.
i just had to pass on a $300K electrical redo of a bridge.
the only other bidder is a shop i used to work for.
taking that away from them would probably buy me more
grief than i'm willing to accept delivery on at this time.
and i don't have the bonding and the stones to go after stuff
that big.... yet. i'd rather hit base hits all day than strike
out trying for a home run.
