The sooner you can pay a sub contractor or supplier the stronger the relationship you build with them. Our business is only as strong as our weakest link. To be the best in your industry your clients have to percieve value from start to finish. Every interaction with a sub contractor or employee will either strengthen or weaken your relationship with your client. Pay early! And when it comes time call in a favor, you have an army in your corner to pull off the impossible. - There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Error on the side of Humility! WHAT I AM STILL LEARNING...- Victory over yourself is the first and most important victory a leader needs to make. I have to work hard every day to make the right choices NOT the easy choices. That is character! There is a difference between people following a leader because the have vs. one they are inspired to follow.

You have to believe in your self first before anyone else will believe in you. WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT SELLING AND SERVICE...Don't ever underestimate the value of a firm handshake, eye contact and it is important to listen more that you speak. If you understand your customers needs it is easy to sell to them. Here is the key... You then have to deliver on everything you promised and they expected to generate the best lead in business - a referal.
