Is I literally.
Know exactly what's happening. This is what happens to all business owners when they're first getting started. They get caught in the minutiae of.
Things like cleaning their truck instead of.
Driving the behaviors.
They'Re gonna actually move.
The business forward, like door knocking and getting more customers.
The problem is.
I simply don't have the time.
Ultimately, I think I'm going to go ahead and just hire somebody to do the door hangers and holding the sign for me, because right now that's what's working. And if I hire someone just for 20, 25 bucks an hour to do that, it'll allow me to still do the other businesses. Spend two or three hours a day.
Knocking out estimates, and then that way I can just focus on hiring.
And selling. I, like so many owners when we're.
First getting started, know exactly what.
Needs to be done. But we usually don't do it because either A, it puts us out of our comfort zone or we're afraid to do it, or B, we just simply.
Fall in love with being a business.
Owner and cleaning out our truck when it really doesn't move the business forward.
