I'm glad someone is enjoying it.

I started this thread because I wanted to share the nuts and bolts of owning a business. I've lost numerous accounts from lack of knowledge in the pool industry but we've learned and continue to grow. Owning a business is really not that risky. If I lose a customer it's not the end of the world however if I lose my job that has much more of an impact.
One thing I realized was this thread allowed me to think through different strategies for my business as well as what is really important in the whole balancing act.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the Matrix as there are a lot of similarities to real life and how people think.
