Good info. Thank you.

I'm keeping it alive brother.

I started using 4 mil to great success. Going to save me a lot of money.

Hey Ron, I noticed... too bad huh?

How did you go about putting in those bids, when was the right time of year to put it in, stuff like that I guess is what I'm wondering.

What kind of numbers am I looking at when putting in a bid on a college campus, with exhaust cleaning, and fire suppression system maintenance included? I have been told that the more high end schools are around $60k/year contracts, but I only got that info from someone I worked with, who I...

So how much was your company valued at if you were making $8k/month? Had to have gotten at least $150k for it I would imagine... Just wondering, because I started my business with the plan of building it up for an exit in maybe 5 years. I finally just got my company going 2 months ago, and I'm...
