RE: What kind of work do you folks do?
I'm a closer. I'm in the high tech telecom field and love to get down in the technical weeds. Rule #1, you can't spell Geek without a double "E" Electrical Engineer for you non-Maryland Grads.
Can we do a swap? I set you up in awesome hunting ground and you help me design and install a sprinkler system for my yard?
I admire you all for taking the leap. I love the small biz because I was one in the past. Now, I love the marketing of the small biz. Marketing is a passion of mine and is why I'm looking towards an MBA. Let's chat sometime not about your core biz details but ways to market it and move ahead of your competition.Selling and marketingis better then the best sport match up , hands down! I wish you all luck!
I work for a landscaping company installing and maintaining sprinkler systems.
I do both residential and large scale commercial jobs.
I do both residential and large scale commercial jobs.
Right now I'm a stay at home, 7month pregnant, mommy and wife. Previously I have been in employment sales (sounds odd, hard to explain), media sales, realtor, executive admin. asst/tray lidding film sales, assistant sales training manager, most recently assistant property management/manufactured housing sales... see a trend here? LOL I have done sales since I was 18.
I'm 26 years old and am tired of working for the man, as is my husband, so we are in the process of opening our own seamless guttering business. We have begun to buy the necessary things, currently are on the lookout for our machine, made a couple of calls on 'em today, hopefully will have a machine by the end of the year so our business will be up and running by early spring. His best friend will be partnering with us, they will be doing the installation and I will be doing the business admin., accounting, and you guessed, sales for the business.

I own a hunting and fishing resort in Canada. Work my arse off in the summer to get the whole fall off (Oct.1 - Dec.31)and hunt as much as I want. And yes I am married and the wife understands and supports my fall addiction.

RE: What kind of work do you folks do?
I climb trees (arborist) for a living. When the weather is bad, which is often, I don't work, which means I hunt often!
I'll never be rich but I'll hunt alot. I love it!!
