Finally getting my golpher in gear
I posted last week about feeling stalled out, and unmotivated to do much with the business right now. Well I realized what has been missing. Tina and I started this thing together as a way to bring in more income. She was going to locate and service all of the machines. Well....that didn't work out. She gets very shy talking to new people, I learned this as I had her go into a couple locations to pitch a machine. She lost interest in servicing the route. That sucked, because I was stuck working 60+ hours a week and having to service all of the routes, refurb machines, and do all of the placements. I also do all of the shopping for product.
Over the previous months it begun to take a toll on me. I felt like I was just working all the time. I knew that something had to change, but i couldn't for the life of my figure out what that was. Two days ago, it dawned on me. I needed my wife to help me. I couldn't do it all on my own.
I spoke with her about helping out more, and she agreed. In the last 2 days, we have cleaned, repaired, repainted, upgraded, and put together 11 machines! We placed a couple spots. I got my own telemarketing lists prepared for Eddie. I have 8 more machines in various states of disassembly and will get my better half to help tackle them tonight. All it takes sometimes is a little communication to find motivation. I now have that loving feeling for vending again!
