then step on up

It has been a long time for us but we fired a customer last week, couldn't take it anymore. They contacted my wife a few days later asking if we could still do their work. I try to be professional and end up taking it on the chin quite often but sometimes it's too much, you can't let anyone...

that's what it's all about

funny you say that because John Deere could likely do this. The actions of that company is what caused the start of the right to repair laws.

Competition is a mental roadblock for many people when it should be looked at as a challenge that can be conquered. The problems start when these biggies get supplier pricing and exclusive access to certain products that makes it impossible for you to compete in terms of price.

You're talking about small businesses with a single owner. I was talking about publicly traded companies that are small in comparison to the few giants in their particular industry. Like Subway getting bought by the group that owns Arbys. Not Mike the plumber buying out Joes Septic Service...

Drink a 12 pack while you put it in and piss on it 3 times then. Do I have to teach you everything?

dry pack it, tamp it, pee in the hole and leave.

It's only dangerous if you fall.

We use 651 on vehicles all the time. The stuff lasts forever. Never saw it shrink, crack, fall off. I don't know about Avery or any other brands but with the life we see out of 651, I can't see spending more for 751.

I'd get rid of the light ink and use a GPVC profile or one made for the media. There are a lot more options for pre-made CMYK profiles, color gamut is the same and it prints faster. Making your own profiles will probably not be an easy task for you to master at this point.

You're missing the point. Nobody is going to offer to buy most small owner operated businesses. Could be 50 cents and it won't move. Sure, plenty get sold but by and large they do not. Really, banks won't even touch most of them and the owner doesn't want to be the bank. Why bother? You...

Except it doesn't work like that. For one, corporations hoard cash and leverage buyouts. It is usually some combo of stock, debt assumption and some cash AFAIK. As far as zero responsibility, yeah right. They can claim you misrepresented your business, claim you contaminated your property...

Smaller meaning regional and smaller footprint nationals, not Billy Bobs handyman service. Most people run an unsellable small business, it's a job and the owner is the key employee, he leaves and the business dies. You usually don't get a big fat check. You get a little sum, hold a note for...

Rules? Those things are for other people

that's an understatement

Do they start yanking on the door and knocking? The side door of our office can be opened if you pull hard enough and can't even count how many times some idiot has set the alarm off by doing this.

means you will be forced to do work and wait to get paid because all of your smaller customers are either getting bought up or buried. One company alone has bought up at least 5 of our longstanding decent volume customers over the past few years. We just watch them fall one by one

If it's an industrial property, just put a new face on it. It's unistrut and fence post, nothing wrong with it. There's enough bracing there to use 3mm acm if you wanted.

I thought I was the only one who hated ACH payments.
