Hey I listened to the whole hour and 43 min of the show yesterda and I jotted some notes on it as i was listening:

liegionaires disease?
I had a helper have to go inside and use the bathroom at each house
sole proprietors are financially responsable for employees
had a helper go by a job late at nite and ask for $20
the more certs the better
AC your stuff is good, word is you charge
what is I'm hearing, they think your making money off the RCIA
Bout uniforms. we got bleached clothes. only worn on jobs not sales, good point
shirts need to be tucked in
competitors will exploit you, This year ive gone through some chit
bad saying your chit paid involves certification
on other hand thanks for making it easy too
good advice AC
travis lol
i need to get in on this $20

not alot of notes I guess for hour and a half. I never hit pause. I dont remember what each note was written down for.

I was told to listen to it, and I didnt get the same message they got.

It doesnt look like a funnel to AC's back pocket?

I'm going to step my game up this year. I'm going to do it as cheap/affordable as possable.

What im thinking is that soon Gary, AC and others will take the time to find avenues for us to get these classes. Either by a community college or county or state place that offers these classes. Remember how much us members found out this time last year! We were all mcgyvers and chit!

OR in 4 days you can get it all done in one place. Of course its costing them money to put it together, so there should be a charge.

As AC puts the package together, We can work together to find cheaper, free ways to accomplish these goals! If you have more money than time pay for his class, if you have more time than money work with me here and lets figure out how to do this for free!!!

Step your game up!

I was taught ladders, a whole lot more by a guy from Waynesboro in the very beggining of Gutterdogs. he had 20 years in what I was just starting. I've been setting the 40, 2 man job, for 6 years now. Still a cert would be more impressive than telling the customer that I learned from a country boy (That guy taught me alot!), and my own school of hard knocks.

In a time when there are so many BS artists out there conning people out of their money. A cert goes pretty far. Look at it like this. A cert from the RCIA we all want. I want that piece of paper! Not tell them to come here and see that next to my name it says im certified.

Hacks, lurkers can easily come in here and wash a roof just as good as anyone else can. Out of a trash can too (LOL) Just messin!!! All the knowledge is there.

Here it is new years eve. This year was much better than last thanks to the RCIA. Not just adding roof cleaning but the advice and brotherhood and confidence gained here I can sell an eskimo Ice cream now! Not really but my sales, marketing and confidence is much higher!

Best wishes for 2011 to every one of my brothers here.

Lets work together, like last year! Find ways to get these certs, etc. for free if possable!

- Mike

 Thanks Kim!!! The RCIA will be stronger because of this. My Feelings.

 I've tried to give back. I dont have much to give back.

 I dont have much to add. I tried helping the guys up north. Gutter cleaning, dryer vents.

 I survive. Not build a million dollar corp.

 Hopefully diff next year.

Thank you AC. I sat next to you in Tampa one day... I was so overwhelmed. All I could say was Hi.

I must have skipped my deodorant that morning

Mike, I met you in Tampa too, I was on the balcony when you were trying to find your room. We sat on the balcony and spoke for a bit.

I read your post as well, it seems you have the same issues I do, trying to voice online what is in your mind. I can say that you probably are one of the biggest backers of the RCIA who is not part of the BOD. Like a true blooded American, you are "True Blooded RCIA"
