Starting a new venture

I've been in the carpet cleaning business for over 20 years and in the last few years have come to realize that cleaning commercial carpet is far more profitable that doing residential. We have made great strides in making our business more stable by acquiring some nice commercial carpet and T&G cleaning jobs.

We just started a new company down in North Carolina that is going to be primarily commercial carpet maintenance. The name of our company is "ON THE SPOT carpet maintenance" We will be doing some joint ventures with Carl Newton. We can team up on some larger accounts and bounce some marketing ideas off of one another. I am totally psyched about the challenge of starting something new. I hope that what I've learned in the past couple of years will help us reach our goals alot quicker than it took us in NY.

Wish me luck. I'll be doing quite a bit of traveling for the next couple of years to get things where I want them to be.

Good luck to your new company and the move.

I've kept up with your blog from back in the day.

Where in NC are you going to be? I'm by the DC area.
