Gino This is your second question. "Don't gatcha Aslo, says who it will singlehandedly ??" Yes, I completely fail to understand your question.

ikarasu Thank you for your gracious response. It means a lot to me. I will prepare a Thread on "To-Do Lists." We shall see.

Notarealsignguy Thank you for your perspective. My primary concern is about delivering value. No two people see value in the same way. I am thankful that one Signs101 member has found value in working with me. Now I am watching to find one more. That could happen today. Or, it could take months...

Texas_Signmaker Did you notice that ikarasu plainly said he did not want my advice about "To-Do lists"? Watch for my upcoming Thread. It will be titled something like your statement, "Ask me something about making my business better and we'll see if I can help." So far, I have posted various...

Jester1167 I personally identify with your Justin Pate story. I see myself as being in the very early stages of trying to find a way to provide value to sign makers. I do not intend to fail. Each thread that I post is my own attempt to find out what might trigger some genuine interest. When my...

ikarasu First of all, thank you for your feedback. You have given me lots to think about. I appreciate it. If you are willing, I would like to see if we could take your input and narrow it down to what is most important to you. For now, I will guess. My guess might be way off. One of my favorite...

Gino Your second question, "What, listening or being more attentive??" I am not sure what you are looking for so let me guess. There is a difference between listening and being more attentive. We all know how to act like we are listening when we are thinking about dozens of other things. We can...

Jeremiah As I recall, you have raised this kind of question before. Let's take your reply one item at a time. If I have come across to you as a "professed expert," I apologize. Case-in-point, More Attentive, I have studied that topic extensively. I have learned a lot. Enough to know that I am...

Jester1167 "new member Mike" - look at his profile to see when he became a member. Not sure what difference it makes which city he lives in. I joined Signs101 as a merchant member with the desire to find sign makers who are open to improving their business. I was warned by quite a few people...

Z SIGNS Thank you for your feedback. As I understand you, there is absolutely no room to improve. I respect your viewpoint. I just happen to think that there is room to improve. And, I happen to think that if an individual will not decide to pay attention, improvement is impossible. Feel free to...

Gino It sounds like all of the people who work for you are as attentive as you would like them to be. It also is clear that you have no interest in my coaching/training. I'm fine with that. Out of the 60,000 plus members of this forum, there may be a few, one or two, who would like to make some...

Gino Again, we seldom understand each other. Let's take your bank of switches. Let's focus on the "Driving Lights." That switch is either on or off. Now, with the "Driving Lights" image, let's bring that to the topic of being attentive. Let me ask you to think about the people who work for you...

Gino I see that you ask ten questions. Let's start with your first question and see if I am able to answer to your satisfaction. "What, listening or being more attentive??" Deciding to be "More Attentive" is like the switch on the wall. It is either on or off. Any of us, in any conversation, can...

Gino You and I have had many conversations. Seldom do we fully understand each other. When it comes to being More Attentive, the core idea is really quite simple. Being able to pay attention when you want to. It has to start there. After that, the conversation can go in hundreds of different...

I am on a mission to begin to work with one Signs101 member by the end of February 2021. Let’s start with my favorite topic. Be More Attentive. (aka Listen) The goal is for everyone in your group to be more attentive. This alone will help to get more done faster and better with a lot less...

Notarealsignguy Good to hear from you. Your reply is appreciated. "...if you want to." is the key.

Jester1167 Thank you for your input. Much appreciated.

Here is a new study course developed for sign makers. The key idea is to find the quickest path to improving your efficiency. Every situation is different. I'm a fan of the +1% approach. It all starts with a short conversation to see if there might be a fit. Five minutes is all it takes to...

Texas_Signmaker Maybe you see it differently. As I see it, that kind of conversation would be the root of stress. To turn it around is not one bit easy. It takes a higher level of listening skills. Again, maybe you are okay with that conversation. How would a more productive conversation feel?
