So they were at a revolving door of constantly replacing people and training and onboarding new people.

So that's when I met with them.

That's when we started.

I told them I was just going to spend a year with them to implement the talent system, build them a high performing leadership team who could then duplicate that effort going forward.

Yeah.

Yep.

Now they're opening restaurants and car dealerships or whatever.

Yeah.

Yep.

So we always go back to the basics of what we learned, right?

Follow that system.

And then Tommy, that's why I started the deck business, right?

It's not that I needed something else to do at this point in my life.

You know, I'm 64.

I'm trying to slow down a little bit, enjoy life.

But the thing I love about the home improvement industry is there's already so many proven successful systems that if you just follow it,

You almost can't not be successful.

And that's why I started this little deck business just to prove that I could get this company up and running and successful within a couple of years.

And then my goal is to flip it.

At least 500 at minimum within two years.
